However, many of you still used these properties in code, preferring degrees to radians. So with this beta release *_degrees properties are restored for use in code and animations ( GH-70263 ).

C++ is the most effective and widely used programming language for creating video games. It’s also the language Unreal Engine, arguably the most popular game engine in the world, uses too. And that’s why float is used more than a double in game development and no game engine is an exception to this.
