DEG Function

DEG(real-expression)

Converts an angle from radians to degrees. The result is a real number.

---

Examples

PRINT DEG(PI#)

Produces 180.

PRINT DEG(PI# / 2)

Produces 90.

REM Round-trip conversion
angle# = 45
PRINT "Radians = "; RAD(angle#)
PRINT "Degrees = "; DEG(RAD(angle#))

Notes

• Conversion formula: degrees = radians * 180 / PI.
• Returned as a real value; may not be an integer if the input is not an exact multiple of π/180.
• Useful for displaying angles calculated in radians to users in degrees.
