function	mycart2sph (in x, in y, in z)

Detailed Description

Converts Cartesian coordinates to spherical coordinates.

Given Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z), this function computes the corresponding spherical coordinates: radial distance r, elevation angle theta, and azimuthal angle phi. Handles edge cases such as r = 0 to avoid NaN values in theta.

Parameters

x	X-coordinate(s)
y	Y-coordinate(s)
z	Z-coordinate(s)

Return values

r	Radial distance(s) from the origin
theta	Elevation angle(s) [rad], 0 along +z
phi	Azimuthal angle(s) [rad], 0 along +x
