Calculate the Circular Difference
Arguments
- x
Numeric or integer values
- y
Numeric or integer values
- max
the theoretical maximum (e.g., if degrees, 360; if hours, 24; etc.).
Value
A value with the circular difference. This will always be positive if defined.
Examples
diffCircular(330, 30, max = 360)
#> [1] 60
diffCircular(22, 1, max = 24)
#> [1] 3
diffCircular(c(22, 23, 21, 22), c(1, 1, 23, 14), max = 24)
#> [1] 3 2 2 8
