define external float function asin value float x
Use asin to calculate, in radians, the arc sine (inverse sine) of a floating point number. This trigonometric function works the same way as its equivalent in the C math library.
Out-of-range values, (|x| > 1), return "not a number" (NaN).
The following sample shows how to use asin
to calculate the value of the arc sine of 0.999. The result is 1.526071239626164.
include "omtrig.xin" process local float x initial {0.999} output "The arc sine of x is " || "d" % (asin x) || " %n" ; Output: "The arc sine of x is 1.526071239626164"
