deg2rad

deg2rad(x)

Convert x from degrees to radians

Examples

jldoctest
julia> deg2rad(180)
3.141592653589793

julia> deg2rad(90)
1.5707963267948966

Here are some examples of how to use the deg2rad function:

1. Convert degrees to radians:

   julia> deg2rad(180)
   3.141592653589793

   This example converts 180 degrees to radians.

2. Handle fractional degrees:

   julia> deg2rad(45.5)
   0.794124159725642

   It can handle fractional degrees and accurately convert them to radians.

3. Use the result in further calculations:

   julia> angle_deg = 30;
   julia> angle_rad = deg2rad(angle_deg);
   julia> sin(angle_rad)
   0.5

   This example demonstrates how to use the converted radians in further calculations, such as calculating the sine of an angle.

Common mistake example:

julia> deg2rad("45")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching deg2rad(::String)

In this example, the function is being called with a string argument instead of a numeric value. Make sure to provide a numeric value (integer or float) to the deg2rad function to avoid such errors.
