Description

Degrees function. DEGREES(x) converts an angle x expressed in radians to degrees.

The relation between the 2 units is as follows: 2 x Pi radians = 360 degrees.

The argument x can be a real number or a matrix. When it is a matrix, the function returns a matrix with the same dimensions and with the DEGREES function applied to all elements.

Examples

DEGREES(PI()/2) equals 90.
