acosd

Interface Definition

C interface:

float acosdf(float x);

double acosd(double x);

long double acosdl(long double x);

Parameters

Return Value

• The degree y corresponding to the arccosine of the input x is returned, that is, y = acos(x) * 180/π. y ∈ [0, 180]
• If the input is +0, the return value is 90.
• If the input is -0, the return value is 90.
• If the input x is 1, the return value is +0.
• If the input x is -1, the return value is 180.
• If the input |x| is greater than 1, the return value is NaN.
• If the input is ±∞, the return value is NaN.
• If the input is NaN, the return value is NaN.

Example

C interface:

    // typical usage
    float x1 = -1.0, x2 = 1.0, x3 = 0.5, x4 = -0.5;
    float a = 0.0, b = INFINITY, c = -INFINITY, d = NAN;
    // print result
    printf("acosdf(1.0) = %.15f\n", acosdf(x1));
    printf("acosdf(-1.0) = %.15f\n", acosdf(x2));
    printf("acosdf(0.5) = %.15f\n", acosdf(x3));
    printf("acosdf(-0.5) = %.15f\n", acosdf(x4));
    printf("acosdf(0.0) = %.15f\n", acosdf(a));
    printf("acosdf(-0.0) = %.15f\n", acosdf(-a));
    printf("acosdf(INFINITY) = %.15f\n", acosdf(b));
    printf("acosdf(-INFINITY) = %.15f\n", acosdf(c));
    printf("acosdf(NAN) = %.15f\n", acosdf(d));
