The needle on a compass points only towards magnetic north. Therefore, the other end of the needle points (obviously) towards the south. East and west can be calculated from the compass without the need for specific pointers. The compass forms a circle of 360 degrees, which means that any direction (not just east and west) can be calculated: east = 90 degrees, west = 270 degrees - counting clockwise from north = zero degrees. Therefore, the sides of a bar magnet or the sides of a compass needle, while not specifically being marked east or west, must show east and west by using the degrees shown above.
