Does Matlab have a function that converts degrees to radians?

Does Matlab have a function that converts degrees to
radians?

I searched the help but couldn't find anything.

Don't believe there's a builtin in function/constant but since it's
simply 180 degrees--> pi radians a simple one-liner would do it. It's
convenient that pi is a supplied constant in that regard.

You can write your own one liner:

function y = deg2rad(x)
y = x * pi/180;

also there is sind vice sin, cosd vice cos, etc.

? I may be missing something.. but won't deg2rad(); work? And
rad2deg(); conversely?

Crap, deg2rad is part of the mapping toolbox... sorry!!

There is this file in the mathworks file area:

submitted by Richard Medlock

If the above link doesn't work search for degrees and radians.

Hope this helps,

yes, if(f) the OP has the <mapping tbx>... that they are
