Function `std.math.trigonometry.asin`

Calculates the arc sine of x, returning a value ranging from -π/2 to π/2.


						
				real asin(
				
  real x
				

				) pure nothrow @nogc @safe;
				

				

				double asin(
				
  double x
				

				) pure nothrow @nogc @safe;
				

				

				float asin(
				
  float x
				

				) pure nothrow @nogc @safe;

Special Values
x	asin(x)	invalid?
±0.0	±0.0	no
>1.0	NAN	yes
<-1.0	NAN	yes

Example

import std.math.operations : isClose;
import std.math.traits : isIdentical, isNaN;
import std.math.constants : PI;

assert(isIdentical(asin(0.0), 0.0));
assert(asin(0.5).isClose(PI / 6));
assert(asin(PI).isNaN);
