CFrame.Angles() math.pi*2 or math.rad(360)?

Hi,
I just wanted to ask which way is more efficient to return 360 degrees in CFrame.Angles (math.pi*2 or math.rad(360)) because I often use it and I don’t know which way should I use for better efficient.

I’m pretty sure they are both the same

Just make sure that you feel comfortable. It does not really matter if you use radians or degrees. They are just means to an end.

No

Using one over the other will have no noticeable performance difference. Just choose the one you think looks nicer or is better for readability.

You’ll notice no real difference, but I made a test to see which one was faster.

local BenchmarkTime1 = os.clock()
for i = 1,100000000 do
	local Value = math.rad(360)
end
BenchmarkTime1 = os.clock() - BenchmarkTime1


local BenchmarkTime2 = os.clock()
for i = 1,100000000 do
	local Value = math.pi*2
end
BenchmarkTime2 = os.clock() - BenchmarkTime2


print("math.rad time :"..BenchmarkTime1)
print("pi*2 time: "..BenchmarkTime2)
