VectorAngle

  

compute the angle between two Vectors

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

VectorAngle(U, V, c)

Parameters

U, V

-

Vectors with the same dimension

c

-

(optional) equation of the form conjugate=true or false; specifies if the result uses the Hermitian transpose

Description

• 

The VectorAngle(U, V) function computes the angle between Vectors U and V by using the formula arccosDotProductU,V,cVectorNormU,2VectorNormV,2. The default value for the conjugate option c is true.
