While dealing with mathematical computations in Java, the “Radian” representation streamlines the measurement calculations to a great extent. It is such that this representation enables the developer to analyze and relate the linear and angle measurements.
How to Use/Apply the “toRadians()” Method in Java?
The “java.lang.Math.toRadians()” method is utilized to transform an angle in degrees to the corresponding equal angle in radians.
Note: The transformation from degrees to radian is not precise.
Syntax
double toRadians(double x)
In this syntax, “x” indicates the angle in degrees to be converted into radians.
Returned Value
It retrieves the measurement of the angle (degree) as radians.
Example: Applying the “toRadians()” Method in Java
This example implements the “toRadians()” method to convert and retrieve the degree angle into radian:
public class Degree {
public static void main(String args[]){
double degree1 = 180.0;
System.out.println("Radian Value -> "+ Math.toRadians(degree1));
double degree2 = 270.0;
System.out.println("Radian Value -> "+ Math.toRadians(degree2));
double degree3 = 360.0;
System.out.println("Radian Value -> "+ Math.toRadians(degree3));
}}
In this code snippet:
- Initialize a value representing the degree representation of the angle i.e., 180.
- In the next step, apply the “toRadians()” method to return the radian representation of the degree angle.
- Likewise, repeat the same with the other two values as well.
Output
From this outcome, it can be verified that the corresponding radian values in each case are retrieved appropriately.
Conclusion
The “Math.toRadians()” method in Java is utilized to transform an angle in degrees to the corresponding equal angle in radians. However, the transformation to radian is not accurate. This blog demonstrated the concept of the Java “Math.toRadians()” method.
