NAME
asin - return arc sine of a double quantity
fasin - return arc sine of a float quantity
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double a = asin(b);
double b;
float c = fasin(d);
float d;
FUNCTION
Returns the arc sine of a floating point quantity
EXAMPLE
/*
* compile with the math library -lm
*/
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
{
double a = asin(0.25);
printf("asin 0.25 = %lfn", a); /* 0.2527 */
}
{ /* less accuracy */
float a = fasin(0.25);
printf("asin 0.25 = %lfn", (double)a);
}
return(0);
}
