Convert radiant to degrees

Is there a method JAVA to convert a radiant in degrees (° ' '')? For example radiant = - 272,7’ degrees: 4° 33’ S. Anybody can help me?

Thank for your answers!

Note that it is radians not radiants.

A full circle is 360 degrees, or 2 Pi radians.
So a radian is 360/2Pi degrees. So, you could do (radians * 2 * Math.PI) / (2 * 180) i.e. (radians * Math.PI) / (180)

Or use Math.toDegrees(radians) which involves less magic numbers and spells out what you are doing.

Just for clarity, if you have a number in degrees and want to go the other way, converting this to radians, note you have

Use the Math.toDegrees() static function as below:

double deg = Math.toDegrees(2.0); // Returns 114.59155902616465
deg = Math.toDegrees(Math.PI); // Returns 180.0
