The Python numpy degrees is a trigonometric function to convert the angles from radian to degrees. For instance, π radian = 180 and 2π = 360 degrees.
Syntax
The syntax of this mathematical method is
numpy.degrees(a, axis = None, dtype = None, out = None)
Python numpy degrees Example
In this example, we declared two one-dimensional ndarray of positive and negative numbers from -π to π. Here, np.pi returns the π value. Next, this method returns the degrees for the given radians.
import numpy as np p = np.pi a = np.array([0, -1, 0.5, -0.5, 1]) print(a) b = np.degrees(a) print(b) c = np.array([2* p, p, p / 2, p / 3, p / 4, p / 6]) print(c) d = np.degrees(c) print(d)

[360. 180. 90. 60. 45. 30.]Two-Dimensional example
In this program, we will declare a two-dimensional array of random values using the randn and arange method and find its degrees.
In the last line, we used out and dtype arguments. The dtype is to change the data type, and the out argument is to save the result in a separate array.
import numpy as np a = np.random.randn(2, 3) print(a) b = np.degrees(a) print(b) c = np.arange(6) * 0.7 print(c) d = np.degrees(c) print(d) x = np.arange(6.) np.degrees(c, out = x, dtype = np.float16) print(x)
