Performing Calculations on Fixed-Point Numbers
The Operating System provides four functions that you can use to perform a few common calculations on fixed-point numbers. The FracSqrt function allows you to obtain the square root of a number. The FracCos, FracSin, and FixATan2 functions allow you to obtain fast approximations of trigonometric functions on fixed-point numbers.
