Cardinal direction algorithm in Java

Question

This weekend I spend a few minutes thrashing together an algorithm that would take in a heading (in degrees) and return a String for the cardinal direction (I\'m using it in an

Answer 1

in java:

String _directions[] = {"N", "NE", "E", "SE", "S", "SW", "W", "NW"};

public String getHeading(int hea) {
  return _directions[(int)Math.floor((hea % 360) / 45)];
}

In "java" case u must need to create a Class.

in javascript:

var _directions = ["N", "NE", "E", "SE", "S", "SW", "W", "NW"];

function getDirection (hea) {
  return _directions[Math.floor((hea % 360) / 45)];
};
