This is not done yet.

The problem with this approach is we've yet to achieve a full understanding.

Not all angles in a circle can be normalized into +179 to -180.  eg 179.1
and what about 179.9

So the code "looks like a guess" rather than a reasoned solution.

Can you make it handle 179.9 degrees?
