ACOS()
Computes the cosine arc
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ACOS(<nCosine>) --> nCosArc
Argument
<nCosine> Designates the cosine value for an angle where the
response is determined in radians. The value is in the range of -1 to
+1 (inclusive).
Returns
ACOS() returns the cosine arc for <nCosine>.
Description
ACOS() determines an angle size in radians for a cosine value. The
returned value is in the range of 0 to pi.
Note
. The precision of the result can be influenced by the SETPREC()
function.
Example
Compute the cosine arc:
? STR(ACOS(0.7), 18, 15) // 0.795398830184144
