You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
A program that calculates the hour, sun hour angle, dial hour line angle from 6am to 6pm for an operator entered location.
As the example the user is prompted for a location and inputs the latitude and longitude 4°57′S 150°30′W (4.95°S 150.5°W) of Jules Verne's Lincoln Island, aka Ernest Legouve Reef). With a legal meridian of 150°W.
Wikipedia: A sundial is a device that measures time by the position of the Sun. In common designs such as the horizontal sundial, the sun casts a shadow from its style (also called its Gnomon, a thin rod or a sharp, straight edge) onto a flat surface marked with lines indicating the hours of the day. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow-edge progressively aligns with different hour-lines on the plate. Such designs rely on the style being aligned with the axis of the Earth's rotation. Hence, if such a sundial is to tell the correct time, the style must point towards true north (not the north or south magnetic pole) and the style's angle with horizontal must equal the sundial's geographical latitude.
