Syntax: asin(expression)

Returns: A Float.

Arguments

NameDescription
expressionA numeric expression that represents the angle in radians.

Example

RETURN asin(0.5)

The value returned will be the arcsine of 0.5 radians, which is 0.5235987755982989.

Considerations

  • asin(null) returns null.
  • If (expression < -1), then (asin(expression)) returns Nan(Not a Number).
  • If (expression > 1), then (asin(expression)) returns Nan (Not a Number).

Example

RETURN asin(0.1)

Returns the following Result

asin(0.1)
0.1001674211615598

Example

RETURN asin(0.8)

Returns the following Result

asin(0.8)
0.9272952180016123

Example

RETURN asin(-0.4)

Returns the following Result
