The java.lang.Math.toDegrees() is a built-in math function in java which is used to convert an angle measured in radians to an approximately equivalent angle measured in degrees.

Syntax

Parameter

Return

If the argument is NaN, this method will return NaN.
If the argument is zero, this method will return zero with the same sign as the argument.
If the argument is infinity, this method will return infinity with the same sign as the argument.

Example 1

public class ToDegreesExample1
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        double x = Math.PI;
        // converting value of PI in degrees
        System.out.println(Math.toDegrees(x));
    }
}

Output:

180.0

Example 2

public class ToDegreesExample2
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        double x = (Math.PI)/2;
        // converting value of PI in degrees
        System.out.println(Math.toDegrees(x));
    }
}

90.0

Example 3

public class ToDegreesExample3
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        double x = -1.0/0;
        // Input negative infinity, Output negative infinity
        System.out.println(Math.toDegrees(x));
    }
}

Test it Now

Output:

-Infinity

Example 4

public class ToDegreesExample4
{
