Converting wind direction in angles to text words

Question

I have wind direction data coming from a weather vane, and the data is represented in 0 to 359 degrees.

I want to convert this into text format (compass rose) with 16 di

Answer 1

I would probably just do simple division of degrees to get a position in an array or an enum value or something that would give you the text you need. Just round down on all your division. 360/16 = 22.5, so you would want to divide by 22.5 to get the position.

String[] a = [N,NNW,NW,WNW,...,NNE]
