Parameters

a

Vector or scalar of which to convert from radians to degrees.

Description

Returns the scalar or vector converted from radians to degrees.

For vectors, the returned vector contains each element of the input vector converted from radians to degrees.

Reference Implementation

degrees for a float scalar could be implemented like this.

float degrees(float a)
{
  return 57.29577951 * a;
}

Profile Support

degrees is supported in all profiles except fp20.
