How can I calculate max and min in degree?

I've got an Array with my Phase Phi in degrees:[ 170°,179°,180°,-179°...] ranging from -180° to 180° and I want to calculate how much it drifts over time. My current method of
phi = [ 170,179,180,-179]
drift =max(phi)-min(phi)
doesn't work, because 180°-(-179°) = 359°, while it should be 11°(from 170° to -179°). The Problem is that degrees are a cylic(x°= (x-360)°) unit unlike most units.
Is the a smart way to calculate the maximum phase drift?

If it goes from 179 to -179, isn't that a difference of 2? From 179 to 180 is 1, and 180 is the same as -180, so then from -180 to -179 is another 1, for a total of 2. At least that's how I view it.

How about
drift = max(abs(diff(phi)));
By the way, how do you get 11°? Is that from a different set of data points not shown in your vector above?

Understood. Do you have access to the Statistics Toolbox?
phi = [170,179,180,-179]';
drift = max(pdist(phi + 360*(phi<0)));
