ACOS()
To return the ARCCOSINE in degrees of a cosine value.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ACOS( <nCos> ) -> nDegree
Arguments
<nCos> is a numeric value representing a cosine 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
ACOS() returns the arccosine value (reverse cosine) in degrees of
<nCos>.
Description
ACOS() is a trigonometrical function that returns the arccosine value
in degrees of a cosine value.
For radians, see ACOSR().
Accuracy is to the twelfth decimal (i.e. .00000000001)
Examples
? Str( ACOS(.707106781), 5, 2) // returns 45.00
? Str( ACOS(.866025403), 5, 2) // returns 30.00
