rad2deg

Convert an angle from radians to degrees.

Usage

var rad2deg = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/rad2deg' );

rad2deg( x )

Converts an angle from radians to degrees.

var d = rad2deg( 3.141592653589793/2.0 );
// returns 90.0

d = rad2deg( -3.141592653589793/4.0 );
// returns -45.0

d = rad2deg( NaN );
// returns NaN

Notes

• Due to finite precision, canonical values may not be returned. For example,

  var d = rad2deg( 3.141592653589793/6.0 );
  // returns 29.999999999999996
  

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var TWO_PI = require( '@stdlib/constants/float64/two-pi' );
var rad2deg = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/rad2deg' );

var r;
var d;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    r = randu() * TWO_PI;
    d = rad2deg( r );
    console.log( 'radians: %d => degrees: %d', r, d );
