Function Reference

ASin

Calculates the arcsine of a number.

ASin ( expression )

Parameters

expression

Any value between -1 and 1 (inclusive).

Return Value

Returns the trigonometric arcsine of expression. Result is in radians.

Remarks

ASin(x) is mathematically defined only for -1 < x < 1, so ASin tends to return -1.#IND for other values of x.

Example

Local $x = ASin(0.5)

Local $pi = 3.14159265358979
Local $radToDeg = 180 / $pi
Local $y = ASin(1) * $radToDeg ;arcsine of 1 returns 90°
