ComplexDegrees(x)

Returns the phase of complex number «x» in degrees.

A complex number can be written in polar form as [math]\displaystyle{ r e^{\theta j} }[/math]. Given a complex number, «x», ComplexDegrees(x) returns the [math]\displaystyle{ \theta }[/math] in degrees, in the range [-180, 180).

Examples

ComplexRadians(5+5j) → 45

ComplexRadians(1j) → 90

ComplexRadians(-1j) → -90

ComplexRadians(-2) → -180

ComplexRadians(.1) → 0

History

This function was introduced in Analytica 4.5.
