ACOS(<expN>)
-----------------------------------
Returns (in radians) the arc cosine of <expN>.
Return value - Numeric
-----------------------------------
This trigonometric function returns the arc cosine of <expN>, an angle
in radians between 0 and +pi (3.14159). The value of <expN> may range
between +1 and -1.
To convert the angle returned by ACOS() to degrees use the RTOD()
function. The number of decimal places ACOS() returns is determined by
the SET DECIMALS command.

| Examples |
+---------------------------------+
? RTOD(ACOS(0))
STORE -1 to arcangle
? RTOD(ACOS(arcangle))
? RTOD(ACOS(sqrt(2)/2))
