ASin
DescriptionDetermines
the arcsine of a number. The arcsine is the angle whose sine is number.
ReturnsThe
arcsine, in radians, of a number.
Function syntaxASin(number)
Parameters
Parameter
|
Description
|
number
|
Sine of an angle. The value must be between
-1 and 1, inclusive.
|
UsageThe range
of the result is -p/2 to p/2 radians. To convert degrees to radians, multiply
degrees by p/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians
by 180/p.
