ASIN()

ASIN(V)

RETURNS THE INVERSE SINE (ARCSINE) OF V

  • Type: Function
  • Parameter: 1
  • Group: Mathematics

ACTION

The function ASIN(V) returns the angle the sine of which is V.

The result is expressed in radians and is the range [-Pi/2..Pi/2].

V can be a real or integer number and must be between -1 and 1.

This function is the inverse function of sine (SIN).

SYNTAX: Result=ASIN(V)

  • V = real or integer value.

USE

  • The function ASIN() is used to calculate the arcsine of a value comprised between -1 and 1.

ERROR

  • If V is greater than 1.
  • If V is less than -1.
  • If V is not a correct expression.

EXAMPLE

print asin(0.512)

print "Result = 0.537511507129652"
