SDL_asin

Compute the arc sine of x.

Header File

Syntax

double SDL_asin(double x);

Function Parameters

x	floating point value.

Return Value

Returns arc sine of x, in radians.

Remarks

The definition of y = asin(x) is x = sin(y).

Domain: -1 <= x <= 1

Range: -Pi/2 <= y <= Pi/2

This function operates on double-precision floating point values, use SDL_asinf for single-precision floats.

This function may use a different approximation across different versions, platforms and configurations. i.e, it can return a different value given the same input on different machines or operating systems, or if SDL is updated.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
