Polar mode is actually two modes—Cylindrical mode and Spherical
mode. For 2D vectors, Cylindrical and Spherical modes are
interchangeable—both give the same two-dimensional results.

Vectors are displayed inside [ ] delimiters. In rectangular form, the
components are separated by spaces. In polar (cylindrical or spherical)
form, angles are preceded by an angle sign (¿). (The angle is based on
the current angle mode: Degrees, Radians, or Grads.) Regardless
