dbf.degrees(col=<col>)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
col	pyspark.sql.Column or column name	angle in radians

Returns

pyspark.sql.Column: angle in degrees, as if computed by java.lang.Math.toDegrees()

Examples

from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf
spark.sql("SELECT * FROM VALUES (0.0), (PI()), (PI() / 2), (PI() / 4) AS TAB(value)").select("*", dbf.degrees("value")).show()
