<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><code>asin</code> computes the inverse sine (arc sine) of the argument <var>x</var>.
|
||
|
|
Arguments to <code>asin</code> must be in the range -1 to 1.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><code>asinf</code> is identical to <code>asin</code>, other than taking and
|
||
|
|
returning floats.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
|
||
|
|
<code>asin</code> returns values in radians, in the range of -pi/2 to pi/2.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If <var>x</var> is not in the range -1 to 1, <code>asin</code> and <code>asinf</code>
|
||
|
|
return NaN (not a number), and the global variable <code>errno</code> is set to
|
||
|
|
<code>EDOM</code>.
