Package Exports

@stdlib/math-base-special-acos
@stdlib/math-base-special-acos/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/math-base-special-acos) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

acos

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$

Compute the arccosine of a number.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-acos

Usage

var acos = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-acos' );

acos( x )

Computes the arccosine of a number (in radians).

var v = acos( 1.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = acos( 0.707 ); // ~pi/4
// returns ~0.7855

v = acos( 0.866 ); // ~pi/6
// returns ~0.5236

v = acos( NaN );
// returns NaN

The domain of x is restricted to [-1,1]. If |x| > 1, the function returns NaN.

var v = acos( -3.14 );
// returns NaN

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var acos = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-acos' );

var x = linspace( -1.0, 1.0, 100 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( acos( x[ i ] ) );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
