What is the difference between sin and sind in MATLAB?
1 Answer. From the documentation of sind : For integers n , sind(n*180) is exactly zero, whereas sin(n*pi) reflects the accuracy of the floating point value of pi .
Y = sind( X ) returns the sine of the elements in X , which are expressed in degrees.
Y = sin( X ) returns the sine of the elements of X . The sin function operates element-wise on arrays. The function accepts both real and complex inputs. For real values of X , sin(X) returns real values in the interval [-1, 1].
sin | Sine of argument in radians |
---|---|
sind | Sine of argument in degrees |
sinpi | Compute sin(X*pi) accurately |
asin | Inverse sine in radians |
asind | Inverse sine in degrees |
Matlab: sin(90) = 0.8940.

sin numerically evaluates these units automatically: radian , degree , arcmin , arcsec , and revolution .
The argument of the sine function is by definition an angle. We refer to this angle as the phase of the wave, ϕ=kx−ωt. The difference in the phase of a wave at fixed time over a distance of one wavelength is 2π, as is the difference in phase at fixed position over a time interval of one wave period.
The sine is equal to the ratio of the side opposite the angle and the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle they define. The angle must be measured in radians.
What is sin equal to in radians?
The value of sin 1 is 0.8414709848, in radian. In trigonometry, the complete trigonometric functions and formulas are based on three primary ratios, i.e., sine, cosine, and tangent in trigonometry.
The function f(x) = sin x has all real numbers in its domain, but its range is −1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1. The values of the sine function are different, depending on whether the angle is in degrees or radians. The function is periodic with periodicity 360 degrees or 2π radians.

D = degree( G ) returns the degree of each node in graph G . The degree is the number of edges connected to each node. D = degree( G , nodeIDs ) returns the degree of the nodes specified by nodeIDs .
To convert from degrees to radians, multiply the number of degrees by π/180. This will give you the measurement in radians. If you have an angle that's 90 degrees, and you want to know what it is in radians, you multiply 90 by π/180.
The difference formula for sines states that the sine of the difference of two angles equals the product of the sine of the first angle and cosine of the second angle minus the product of the cosine of the first angle and the sine of the second angle.
As an example, sin expects an angle in radians while sind expects an angle in degrees.
The exact value of sin 90 degrees is 1.

- si=sin(x).^2;
- co=cos(x).^2;
- plot(x,si,x,co);
- figure;
- plot(si,co);%not sure which one you want.
y = sin( theta ) returns the sine of fi input theta using a lookup table algorithm.
cosd (MATLAB Functions) Y = cosd(X) is the cosine of the elements of X , expressed in degrees. For odd integers n , cosd(n*90) is exactly zero, whereas cos(n*pi/2) reflects the accuracy of the floating point value of pi .
How do you write cos in Matlab?
Y = cos( X ) returns the cosine for each element of X . The cos function operates element-wise on arrays.
Using the law of sines to find an unknown length can give rise to an ambiguous answer due to the possibility of two solutions (namely, when you are given two side lengths and a nonincluded, acute angle). If angle 𝐴 is acute and ℎ < 𝑎 < 𝑏 , two possible triangles, 𝐴 𝐶 𝑀 and 𝐴 𝐶 𝐵 , exist.
The sine of an angle can be defined as the ratio of the length of the perpendicular to the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle. It gives the value of the sine function of the angle between the base and hypotenuse of the right triangle.
In trigonometry, the name “sine” comes through Latin from a Sanskrit word meaning “chord”. In the picture of a unit circle below, AB has length sinθ and this is half a chord of the circle. The co-functions are functions of complementary angles: cosθ = sin(π/2 − θ), cotθ = tan(π/2 − θ), and cscθ = sec(π/2 − θ).
Sin and Cos are basic trigonometric functions along with tan function, in trigonometry. The sine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse whereas the cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
- ent = entropy(uint8(str))
- ent = ComputeEntropy(str);
- p = sum(str. '==unique(str))./length(str); ent = -sum(p.*log2(p));
- ent = 3.6901.
Use S-Functions in Models. To incorporate a C MEX S-function in a model, drag a S-function block from the Simulink Library Browser. Similarly, to incorporate a Level-2 MATLAB S-function to the model, drag a Level-2 MATLAB S-function block to the model.
sine = dsp. SineWave(amp,freq,phase, Name,Value ) creates a sine wave object with the Amplitude property set to amp , Frequency property set to freq , PhaseOffset property set to phase , and anyother specified properties set to the specified values.
asin( X ) returns the inverse sine function (arcsine function) of X . All angles are in radians. For real values of X in the interval [-1,1] , asin(X) returns the values in the interval [-pi/2,pi/2] .
