Syntax

Math.toRadians(deg)
  • The deg argument is a double value.
  • The conversion from degrees to radians is generally inexact.

Example

The following example uses Math.toRadians() to convert 180 degrees and 45 degrees to radians:

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double deg1 = 180.0;
double deg2= 45.0;
System.out.println(Math.toRadians(deg1));
System.out.println(Math.toRadians(deg2));
}
}

This will produce the following output:

3.141592653589793
0.7853981633974483
