{{DISPLAYTITLE:_ACOS}}
|
|
The [[_ACOS]] function returns the angle measured in radians based on an input [[COS]]ine value ranging from -1 to 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
: {{Parameter|radian_angle!}} = [[_ACOS]]({{Parameter|cosine_value!}})
|
|
|
|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* The ''cosine_value!'' must be measured >= -1 and <= 1, or an error will be generated. (PRINT _ACOS(1.2) would give the result of -1.#IND, which is basically QB64's way of telling us that the number doesn't exist, much like 1/0 would.)
|
|
* ARCCOSINE is the inverse function of [[COS]]ine, which lets us turn a [[COS]]ine value back into an angle.
|
|
* Note: Due to rounding with floating point math, the _ACOS may not always give a perfect match for the COS angle which generated this. You can reduce the number of rounding errors by increasing the precision of your calculations by using [[DOUBLE]] or [[_FLOAT]] precision variables instead of [[SINGLE]].

C = {{Cl|COS}}({{Cl|_D2R}}(Angle)) '_D2R is the command to convert Degrees to Radians, which is what COS expects

{{small|Example by SMcNeill}}

|
{{OutputStart}}
|
|
Give me an Angle (in Degrees) => ? 60
|
|
|
|
The COSINE of the Angle is: .5000000000000001
|
|
The ACOS of .5000000000000001 is: 1.047197551196598
|
|
Notice, A is the Angle in Radians. If we convert it to degrees, we discover the value is 60
