Calculates the arcsine.

Syntax

double asin(   
   double x   
);  
float asin(  
   float x  
);  // C++ only  
long double asin(  
   long double x  
);  // C++ only  
float asinf (   
   float x   
);  
long double asinl(  
   long double x  
);  

Parameters

x
Value whose arcsine is to be calculated.

Return Value

The asin function returns the arcsine (the inverse sine function) of x in the range –π/2 to π/2 radians.

By default, if x is less than –1 or greater than 1, asin returns an indefinite.

Input SEH Exception Matherr Exception
± ∞ INVALID _DOMAIN
± QNAN,IND none _DOMAIN
|x|>1 INVALID _DOMAIN

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of asin with float and long double values. In a C program, asin always takes and returns a double.
