Returns the angle whose sine is the specified number.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Public Shared Function Asin ( _
    d As Double _
) As Double

public static double Asin(
    double d

static member Asin : 
        d:float -> float 

public static function Asin(
    d : double
) : double

Parameters

  • d
    Type: System. . :: . .Double
    A number representing a sine, where d must be greater than or equal to -1, but less than or equal to 1.

Return Value

Type: System. . :: . .Double
An angle, θ, measured in radians, such that -π/2 ≤θ≤π/2
-or-
NaN if d < -1 or d > 1 or d equals NaN.

Remarks

A positive return value represents a counterclockwise angle from the x-axis; a negative return value represents a clockwise angle.

Multiply the return value by 180/Math..::..PI to convert from radians to degrees.
