`numpy.``degrees`(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'degrees'>

  Convert angles from radians to degrees.

  Parameters: | x : array_like Input array in radians. out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs. where : array_like, optional Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.
  Returns: | y : ndarray of floats The corresponding degree values; if out was supplied this is a reference to it.

  Examples

  Convert a radian array to degrees

      >>> rad = np.arange(12.)*np.pi/6
      >>> np.degrees(rad)
      array([   0.,   30.,   60.,   90.,  120.,  150.,  180.,  210.,  240.,
              270.,  300.,  330.])

      >>> out = np.zeros((rad.shape))
      >>> r = degrees(rad, out)
      >>> np.all(r == out)
      True
