ASIN()
To return the ARCSINE in degrees of a sine value.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ASIN( <nSin> ) -> nDegree
Arguments
<nSin> is a numeric value representing a sine value.
NOTE: Since a parameter of greater than 1 result in a math overflow,
this function returns 0 as a result instead of a math overflow.
Returns
ASIN() returns the arcsine value (reverse sine) in degrees of <nSin>.
Description
ASIN() is a trigonometrical function that returns the arcsine value
in degrees of a sine value.
For radians, see ASINR().
Accuracy is to the twelfth decimal (i.e. .00000000001)
Examples
? Str( ASIN(.707106781), 5, 2) // returns 45.00
? Str( ASIN(.866025403), 5, 2) // returns 60.00
