acos ? arc cosine function |
#include <math.h> double acos(double x); |
The acos() function calculates the arc cosine of x; that is the value whose cosine is x. If x falls outside the range ?1 to 1, acos() fails and errno is set. |
The acos() function returns the arc cosine in radians and the value is mathematically defined to be between 0 and PI (inclusive). |
