degrees(radians)

Parameters

radians

Required. A radian value.

Examples

This example shows the basic usage of the SQLite degrees() function:

SELECT
    degrees(0),
    degrees(pi()),
    degrees(3*pi()),
    degrees(-3*pi());

      degrees(0) = 0.0
   degrees(pi()) = 180.0
 degrees(3*pi()) = 540.0
degrees(-3*pi()) = -540.0

This uses the pi() function to get the value of π.
