I need to calculate an angle in C programm. Here is a method from JAVA that I need to convert to C.
private static double calculateDirection(double x, double y) { return Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(y, x)); }
Is there a function like toDegrees in C language so I don't have to write all the code by myself? Thank you
The formula used is: Radians = (Degrees × π)/180°. Radians = (60° × π)/180° = π/3. Hence, 60 degrees converted to radians is π/3.
The C language uses radians instead of degrees when calculating angles. Humans should use radians as well, as they're logical and easy to work with (radians, not humans).
How do we convert degrees to radians? To convert the value of the angle in degree, to its equivalent radians, we need to multiply the given value with π/180. For example, the value of 180 degrees is π in radians.
#include <math.h> inline double to_degrees(double radians) { return radians * (180.0 / M_PI); }
