cosd: Cosine (in degrees) [GNU Octave/MATLAB compatible]

Description

Calculates the value of cosine for each element of x in degrees in a manner compatible with GNU Octave/MATLAB. Zero is returned for any "elements where (x - 90) / 180 is an integer." Source: Eaton.

Usage

cosd(x)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector containing values in degrees

Value

The cosine of each element of x in degrees. Zero for any "elements where (x - 90) / 180 is an integer."
