asin, asinf, asinl - arc sine function
&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel
Syntax | #include <math.h> double asin(double x); C11 float asinf(floatx); long double asinl(long double x); (End) |
Description | These functions are the inverse function of the corresponding sin()-functions. They return the principal value (i.e. corresponding angle in radians) of the arc sine of a floating-point number x in the range [-1.0, +1.0]. |
Return val. | arc sine(x) | if successful. A floating-point number of type double in the range [-pi/2, +pi/2] is returned. |
| 0.0 | for values of x that are not in the range [-1.0, +1.0].
errno is set to indicate the error. |
| 0.0 | if the result causes an underflow. |
Errors | asin(), asinf() and asinl() will fail if:
EDOM The value of x is not in the range [-1.0, +1.0].
|
Notes | To be sure of catching an error, you should set errno to 0 before calling asin(). If after execution errno != 0, an error has occurred. |
