asin, asinf
Calculate the arcsine.
double asin(
double x
);
float asin(
float x
); // C++ only
long double asin(
long double x
); // C++ only
float asinf (
float x
);
Parameters
- x
Value whose arcsine is to be calculated.
Return Value
The asin function returns the arcsine of x in the range –π/2 to π/2 radians.
If x is less than –1 or greater than 1, asin returns an indefinite by default.
