DEGRES CONVERSION

[LEGRAND]

I have difficulties to transform DEGRES as used in programs (DD.MMSS)
DD=DEGRES, MM=MINUTES etc; 24DEG 45MN 30S = 24.4530 as input
in DECIMAL notation (24. 75833)
I know it's elementary but for some reason I cannot find the actual number. I suppose that the code (3 lines) exists somewhere.I didn't find it.Could Somebody be kind enough to help me?
Thanks in advance.

It is easy to translate 24 Deg, 45 Min, 30 seconds to Value Decimal
1 Dgr = 60 Min
1 Min = 60 Sec

Then:

24 * 60 * 60 = DSec
45 * 60 = MSec
30 sec = SSec

Total value decimal in Sec = DSec + MSec + SSec

1 Dgr Decimal = 3600 Sec

Dgr = ( Total Value in Sec) / 3600
