StrictMath toDegrees() Method in Java

The java.lang.StrictMath.toDegrees() method of StrictMath class in Java is used to accept an angle measured in radians as a parameter and returns its approximately equivalent angle measured in degrees. So basically it converts radians to degrees. This conversion is generally inexact.

Syntax:

public static double toDegrees(double rad)

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter rad which refers to an angle in radians which is to be converted to its equivalent degrees.

Return Values:This method returns the measurement of the angle passed as a parameter in degrees.

Examples:

Input : 2.0
Output : 114.59155902616465

Input : 0.007022
Output : 0.4023309637408641

Below programs illustrate the java.lang.StrictMath.toDegrees() method in Java :

Program 1:

// Java Program to illustrate StrictMath.toDegrees()
// function

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        double rad = 3.0009871008;
        double deg = StrictMath.toDegrees(rad);
        System.out.println("Value in degrees of " +
                       rad + " radians is " + deg);
    }
}

Output:

Value in degrees of 3.0009871008 radians is 171.943895249041

Program 2:

// Java Program to illustrate StrictMath.toDegrees()
//  function

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        double rad = 1.0;
        double deg = StrictMath.toDegrees(rad);
        System.out.println("Value in degrees of " +
                       rad + " radians is " + deg);
    }
}

Output:

Value in degrees of 1.0 radians is 57.29577951308232
