asin(float)

Gets the arc sine of a value.

float asin(
    float fValue
);

Parameters

fValue

Value to get the arc sine of.

Description

Arc sine is the inverse of the sin function. Thus, given an fValue that is some ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the asin function returns the appropriate angle (in degrees) of that triangle. The asin function returns a value from -90 to 90 or returns zero if fValue is greater than 1 or fValue less than -1.
