JavaScript: Convert radians to degrees

JavaScript Math: Exercise-34 with Solution

Write a JavaScript function to convert radians to degrees.

Test Data : console.log(radians_to_degrees(0.7853981633974483));
45

Sample Solution-1:

JavaScript Code:

// Define a function named radians_to_degrees that converts radians to degrees.
function radians_to_degrees(radians)
{
  // Store the value of pi.
  var pi = Math.PI;
  // Multiply radians by 180 divided by pi to convert to degrees.
  return radians * (180/pi);
}
          
// Output the result of converting approximately 0.785 radians to degrees to the console.
console.log(radians_to_degrees(0.7853981633974483));

Output:

45

Sample Solution-2:

JavaScript Code:

// Define a function named radians_to_degrees that converts radians to degrees using an arrow function.
const radians_to_degrees = rad => (rad * 180.0) / Math.PI;
// Output the result of converting pi/2 radians to degrees to the console.
console.log(radians_to_degrees(Math.PI / 2));
// Output the result of converting approximately 0.785 radians to degrees to the console.
console.log(radians_to_degrees(0.7853981633974483));

Output:
