how to calculate the arctangent of an angle in degrees in matlab

To calculate the arctangent of an angle in degrees in matlab, you can use the atan2d function. The atan2d function computes the four-quadrant inverse tangent in degrees, where the signs of both input arguments determine the quadrant of the result.

Here's an example code snippet:

main.m
x = 1;
y = 1;
atan2d(y, x)

In this example, atan2d(y, x) returns 45, which is the arctangent of 1 in degrees. Note that the order of the arguments is y followed by x. This is because the atan2d function calculates the angle between the positive x-axis and the point (x,y) in the Cartesian plane.
