turtle.degrees() function in Python

The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses tkinter for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.

turtle.degrees()

This method is used to set angle measurement units to degrees. By default the angle measurement unit is "degrees".

Syntax: turtle.degrees(fullcircle=360.0)

Parameter:

fullcircle(optional): a number. Set angle measurement units, i.e. set number of 'degrees' for a full circle. Default value is 360 degrees.

Below is the implementation of the above method with an example :

# importing package
import turtle

# set turtle speed
turtle.speed(1)

# forward turtle by 100
turtle.forward(100)

# turn the turtle (degrees)
turtle.left(90)

# print heading
print(turtle.heading())

# move forward by 100
turtle.forward(100)

# set to radians
turtle.radians()

# turn to left by 90 (radians)
turtle.left(1.57079633)

# print heading
print(turtle.heading())

# move forward by 100
turtle.forward(100)

# set to radians
turtle.degrees()

# turn to left by 90 (degrees)
turtle.left(90)

# print heading
print(turtle.heading())
