Go Asin()

The Asin() function returns the inverse sine of a number.

Syntax

result := math.Asin(number)

The Asin() function takes one parameter, number, a type of float64, which must be within the range of -1 and 1 (inclusive).

The Asin() function returns a number, the inverse sine (also known as arcsine) value of number as a float64. This returned value represents an angle in radians whose sine equals the number. If the value of number is:

• Zero (0), then it returns 0
• Less than -1, then it returns NAN (Not a Number)
• Greater than 1, then it returns NAN

Note: The math library must be imported first to use this function.

Example

The following example first calculates the inverse sine of num and then prints out the result to the console:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "math"
)

func main() {
  num := 0.9

  inverseSine := math.Asin(num)
  fmt.Printf("The inverse sine of %f is %f\n", num, inverseSine)
}
