Key Performance Insight: Math Asin Function

C++ is renowned for its efficiency. Learn how Math Asin Function enables low-level control and high-performance computing in the tutorial below.

C++ Math asin

The function calculates the arcsine of a value provided in radians.

Syntax

Suppose a number is 'x'. Syntax would be:

Example

float asin(float x);
double asin(double x);
long double asin(long double x);
double asin(integral x);

Note: If the value passed is an integer type, then it is cast to double.

Parameter

x : The value for which the arcsine needs to be determined

Return value

Parameter Return value
-1≤x≤1 -∏/2,∏/2
x_PRESERVE7__1 Not a Number

Example 1

Let's examine a basic scenario where the value of x equals zero.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include<math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    float degree=0;
    float x=degree*3.14/180;
    std::cout << "Value of Sine is :" <<sin(x)<< std::endl;
    cout<<"Inverse of Sine is :"<<asin(x);
    return 0;
}

Output:

Output

Value of Sine is :0
Inverse of Sine is :0

In this instance, the asin function computes the arcsine of a value when x equals zero.

Example 2

Let's examine a straightforward scenario where the value assigned to x exceeds 1.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include<math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    float degree=90;
    float x=degree*3.14/180;
    std::cout << "Value of Sine is :" <<sin(x)<< std::endl;
    cout<<"Inverse of Sine is :"<<asin(x);
    return 0;
}

Output:

Output

Value of Sine is :1
Inverse of Sine is :nan

In this instance, the asin function computes the arcsine of a value provided x exceeds 1.

Example 3

Let's examine a straightforward scenario where the value of x is below -1.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include<math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    float degree= -78;
    float x=degree*3.14/180;
    std::cout << "Value of Sine is : " <<sin(x)<< std::endl;
    cout<<"Inverse of Sine is :"<<asin(x);
    return 0;
}

Output:

Output

Value of Sine is : -0.978004
Inverse of Sine is :nan

In this instance, the asin function computes the arcsine of a number if the input value of x is below -1.
