SQLite DEGREES() Function
The SQLite DEGREES() function returns an angle measured in radians to an approx. equivalent angle measured in degrees.
Syntax
DEGREES(x)
Parameters
x |
Required. Specify an angle in radians. |
Return Value
Returns the angle measured in degrees.
Example 1:
The example below shows the usage of DEGREES() function.
SELECT DEGREES(0); Result: 0.0 SELECT DEGREES(1); Result: 57.2957795130823 SELECT DEGREES(2); Result: 114.591559026165 SELECT DEGREES(3); Result: 171.887338539247 SELECT DEGREES(PI()/3); Result: 60.0 SELECT DEGREES(PI()/2); Result: 90.0 SELECT DEGREES(PI()); Result: 180.0
Example 2:
Consider a database table called Sample with the following records:
Data | x |
---|---|
Data 1 | 0 |
Data 2 | 1 |
Data 3 | 2 |
Data 4 | 3 |
Data 5 | 4 |
The statement given below can be used to convert the records of column x (containing values expressed in radians) into degrees.
SELECT *, DEGREES(x) AS DEGREES_Value FROM Sample;
This will produce the result as shown below:
Data | x | DEGREES_Value |
---|---|---|
Data 1 | 0 | 0.0 |
Data 2 | 1 | 57.2957795130823 |
Data 3 | 2 | 114.591559026165 |
Data 4 | 3 | 171.887338539247 |
Data 5 | 4 | 229.183118052329 |
