Python:NumPy .deg2rad()

In NumPy, the .deg2rad() function converts an angle from degrees to radians.

Note: In NumPy, the default unit for angles is radians. Therefore, the .deg2rad() function is used to convert angle values from degrees to radians.

Syntax

numpy.deg2rad(x, out=None)

• x: The input array (or scalar) containing angles in degrees that need to be converted to radians.
• out (Optional): A location where the result is stored. If not specified, a new array is returned.

Example

In this example, the code converts an angle measured in degrees to radians using the numpy.deg2rad() function:

import numpy as np

# Angle of the board on a table measured in degrees
angle_degrees = 45

# Convert the angle to radians
angle_radians = np.deg2rad(angle_degrees)

# Output the result
print(f"Angle in degrees: {angle_degrees}")
print(f"Angle in radians: {angle_radians}")
