Converts angles from degrees to radians.

Category: Mathematics > Elementary Math

Syntax

Y = deg2rad(X)

Multiplies each element of X by pi/180.

Description

deg2rad(X) is the same as X*pi/180. The inverse is rad2deg. Remember that sin, cos and tan expect radians, while sind, cosd and tand expect degrees.

Input arguments

X
Numeric array of any size.

Output arguments

Y
Array of the same size as X, in radians.

Example

Degrees to radians

deg2rad([0 90 180 360])
Output
ans = 1×4

         0    1.5708    3.1416    6.2832
