huh they don't know 180-360/n?
they interviewed some seriously stupid people.
Yes that'll work if you want a negative result.
Huh? you need to work on your operator precidence.
Division before subtraction.
3 sides
180 - 360/3 = 180 -120 = 60
4 sides
180 - 360/4 = 180 - 90 = 90
5 sides
180 - 360/5 = 180 -72 = 108
6 sides
180 - 360/6 = 180 - 60 = 120
The formula is based on the fact that the external angles add up to 360 degrees, and the internal angle is 180 - the external angle.
Clearly the formula goes wrong for n=1 or n=2, but those are not valid shapes anyway.
