Getting a compass point from 140°
3
$begingroup$
This JavaScript converts degrees to a compass point, e.g. convert.toCompass(140) gets 140° -> SE.
I can't help but think: is there a more concise way to do this?
var convert = {
toCompass: function(degrees)
{
if(degrees >= 0 && degrees <= 11.25)
{
return 'N';
}
else if(degrees > 11.25 && degrees <= 33.75)
{
return 'NNE';
}
else if(degrees > 33.75 && degrees <= 56.25)
{
return 'NE';
}
else if(degrees > 56.25 && degrees <= 78.75)
{
return 'ENE';
}
else if(degrees > 78.75 && degrees <= 101.25)
{
return 'E';
}
else if(degrees > 101.25 && degrees <= 123.75)
{
return 'ESE';
}
else if(degrees > 123.75 && degrees <= 146.25)
{
return 'SE';
}
else if(degrees > 146.25 && degrees <= 168.75)
{
return 'SSE';
}
else if(degrees > 168.75 && degrees <= 191.25)
{
return 'S';
}
else if(degrees > 191.25 && degrees <= 213.75)
{
return 'SSW';
}
else if(degrees > 213.75 && degrees <= 236.25)
{
return 'SW';
}
else if(degrees > 236.25 && degrees <= 258.75)
{
return 'WSW';
}
else if(degrees > 258.75 && degrees <= 281.25)
{
return 'W';
}
else if(degrees > 281.25 && degrees <= 303.75)
{
return 'WNW';
}
else if(degrees > 303.75 && degrees <= 326.25)
{
return 'NW';
}
else if(degrees > 326.25 && degrees <= 348.75)
{
return 'NNW';
}
else if(degrees > 348.75 && degrees <= 360)
{

}
