		| Examples | float rad = PI/4;
float deg = degrees(rad);
println(rad + " radians is " + deg + " degrees"); | 
	
		| Description | Converts a radian measurement to its corresponding value in degrees. Radians and degrees are two ways of measuring the same thing. There are 360 degrees in a circle and 2*PI radians in a circle. For example, 90° = PI/2 = 1.5707964. All trigonometric methods in Processing require their parameters to be specified in radians. |
