okay bestie, welcome to DEGREES 💖 this one lives in the OpenCL Manual (section 3clc, iykyk) and it's literally the glow-up from radians to degrees. let's get into it 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

degrees — Converts radians to degrees. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gentype degrees(gentype radians);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one arg in, degrees out ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what it does: converts radians to degrees. That's it. That's the whole function, no cap 🫶

And the math? literally just:

(180 / pi) * radians

iconic. tiny. perfect. ate 💅

🔥 NOTES 🔥

okay so here's where we talk about the generic type names, because these matter, bestie. don't skip 👑

• The generic type name gentype is used to indicate that the function can take float, float2, float3, float4, float8, float16, double, double2, double3, double4, double8, or double16 as the type for the arguments. 🌈
• The generic type name gentypef is used to indicate that the function can take float, float2, float3, float4, float8, or float16 as the type for the arguments. ⭐
• The generic type name gentyped is used to indicate that the function can take double, double2, double3, double4, double8, or double16 as the type for the arguments. 💜
• The built-in common functions are implemented using the round to nearest even rounding mode. 🎀
• If extended with cl_khr_fp16(3clc), generic type name gentype may indicate half and half{2|3|4|8|16} as arguments and return values. 🧚
