The function DEGREES converts radians into degrees.

This function takes a single Number as input. It parses that Number as an angle in radians and returns another Number: the equivalent angle in degrees.

### Declaration

``````DEGREES(number) -> degrees
``````

### Parameters

number (required, type: `Number`)
A number specifying an angle in degrees.

### Return Values

degrees (type: `Number`)
The number of radians corresponding to the angle that was given in degrees.

### Examples

The following example converts two radians into the equivalent number of degrees:

``````DEGREES(2) -> 114.59155902616465
``````

As a unit, the radian is derived from the ratio of the arc length to the radius of a circle, and thus it often makes sense to express radians as multiples of pi. (Many "neat" angles are expressed nicely as multiples of pi – the quarter turn, 90°, is 0.5π radians, and a complete rotation, 360°, is 2π radians.) The following example converts 2π radians – expressed by multiplying two by the output of the PI function – into the equivalent number of degrees:

``````DEGREES(2*PI()) -> 360
``````
