Get 4 way cardinal direction of any entity

I need to get the 4-way cardinal direction of an entity in forge 1.12. I currently have code that partially does it that I found on the internet, but it does not always get the exact direction. For example, it might return west when I am facing east. The debug screen does exactly what I want, but I am not sure where to find the code for that. My current code:

/**
	 * Get the direction the entity is facing. Four possibilities.
	 * 
	 * @param source
	 * @return
	 */
	public static String getDirection(Entity source) {
	         String dir = "";
	         float y = source.rotationYaw;
	         if( y < 0 ){
	        	 y += 360;
	         }
	         
	         y %= 360;
	         
	         int i = (int)(y / 90);
	         
	         if(i == 1){dir = "west";}
	         else if (i == 2) {dir = "north";}
	         else if (i == 3) {dir = "east";}
	         else {dir = "south";}
	         
	         return dir;
	}

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.
