Angles at concave polygon

Hello, I have a concave polygon you can see in the picture attached. I need to compute all angles between two consecutive vectors. I tried following:
for k = 1 : size(ps, 1) - 2;
point1 = ps(k, :);
vertex = ps(k+1, :);
point2 = ps(k+2, :);
v1 = point1 - vertex;
v2 = point2 - vertex;
theta(k) = dot(v1, v2)/(norm(v1)*norm(v2));
angle(k) = (acos(theta))*180/pi;
end
ps is nx2 matrix containing coordinates of polygon vertices.
In the output angle(k) there are angles allways smaller then 180, but obviously there angles more then 180. I need to somehow distinct which angles are >180 and <180. What do I do wrong? Thank you in advance for your reply

% ps is nx2 matrix containing coordinates of polygon vertices.
c = convex(ps); % Identify convex and concave parts of polygon
for k = 1 : size(ps, 1)-2
point1 = ps(k, :);
vertex = ps(k+1, :);
point2 = ps(k+2, :);
v1 = point1 - vertex;
v2 = point2 - vertex;
theta(k) = dot(v1, v2)/(norm(v1)*norm(v2));
if c(k)>0
angle(k) = (acos(theta(k)))*180/pi;
else
angle(k) = 360 - (acos(theta(k)))*180/pi;
end
end
