No. Fortran does not contain "a bunch of parallel trig functions
that work in degrees."  It contains a bunch of elemental functions.

program foo
   real x, y
   x = 30+360*1111
   y = x * (4 * atan(1.) / 180)
   print *, sind(x), sin(y)
end program foo

% gfcx -o z a.f90 && ./z
0.500000000      0.500089288

One of these values is exact, and one of these raises FE_INEXACT.
