1-3) Computes the principal value of the arc sine of num. The library provides overloads of std::asin for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter.(since C++23)

A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as double. (since C++11)

[edit] Parameters

num - floating-point or integer value

[edit] Return value

If no errors occur, the arc sine of num (arcsin(num)) in the range [- , +], is returned.

If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned (NaN where supported).

If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.

[edit] Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

Domain error occurs if num is outside the range [-1.0, 1.0].

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

[edit] Notes

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::asin(num) has the same effect as std::asin(static_cast<double>(num)).

[edit] Example

#include #include #include #include #include   // #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON   int main() { std::cout << "asin(1.0) = " << asin(1) << '\n' << "2asin(1.0) = " << 2 * asin(1) << '\n' << "asin(-0.5) = " << asin(-0.5) << '\n' << "6asin(-0.5) =" << 6 * asin(-0.5) << '\n';   // special values std::cout << "asin(0.0) = " << asin(0) << " asin(-0.0)=" << asin(-0.0) << '\n';   // error handling errno = 0; std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);   std::cout << "asin(1.1) = " << asin(1.1) << '\n';   if (errno == EDOM) std::cout << " errno == EDOM: " << std::strerror(errno) << '\n'; if (std::fetestexcept(FE_INVALID)) std::cout << " FE_INVALID raised" << '\n'; }

Possible output:

asin(1.0) = 1.5708 2asin(1.0) = 3.14159 asin(-0.5) = -0.523599 6asin(-0.5) = -3.14159 asin(0.0) = 0 asin(-0.0)=-0 asin(1.1) = nan errno == EDOM: Numerical argument out of domain FE_INVALID raised
