Python:NumPy .degrees()

In NumPy, the .degrees() function converts angles expressed in radians into degrees.

Syntax

numpy.degrees(x, out=None, where=True)

• x: The number or array of numbers in radians that must be converted.
• out: An optional parameter specifying where the result is stored.
• where: An optional parameter specifying a condition to filter which elements to convert.

Example 1

# Importing the 'numpy' library as 'np'
import numpy as np

# Convert a single number from radians to degrees
radNum = 4
result = np.degrees(radNum)
print(result)

Example 2

# Importing the 'numpy' library as 'np'
import numpy as np

# Convert an array of numbers from radians to degrees
radArray = [np.pi/2, np.pi/6, 5, 8]
result = np.degrees(radArray)
print(result)
