% ASIND ASIND Inverse Sine Degrees Function
% 
% Usage
% 
% Computes the inverse sine of the argument, but returns
% the argument in degrees instead of radians (as is the case
% for asin). The syntax for its use is
% 
%    y = asind(x)
% 
function y = asind(x)
  if (nargin == 0 || ~isnumeric(x) || ~isreal(x))
    error('asind expects a real numeric input');
  end
  y = rad2deg(asin(x));
