Create an array of three complex angles and compute the cosine. 

z = [180+i 45+2i 10+3i];
y = cosd(z)
y = 1×3 complex

  -1.0002 + 0.0000i   0.7075 - 0.0247i   0.9862 - 0.0091i

Input Arguments

collapse all

Angle in degrees, specified as a real-valued or complex-valued scalar, vector, matrix, multidimensional array, table, or timetable. The cosd operation is element-wise when X is nonscalar.

Data Types: single | double | table | timetable
Complex Number Support: Yes

Output Arguments

collapse all

Cosine of angle, returned as a real-valued or complex-valued scalar, vector, matrix, multidimensional array, table, or timetable of the same size as X.
