Help with math.rad and math.deg

Hello, could someone explain to me what it is for math.rad and math.deg I have looked for information and I have learned all the math functions but these two cannot be understood, someone could explain them to me, please :frowning:

Code:

print (math.rad()) -- I do not understand what it does or what it is for
print (math.deg()) -- I do not understand what it does or what it is for

math.deg(X) returns X as if it was radians, so returns X in degree conversion
example;
math.deg(math.pi) – pi
math.rad(180) – pi

math.rad() does the same, returns degrees converted in radias

Radians: It is the part of a circle where the radius is equal to the arc of the circle.

As if it were a square in a rectangle.
