C Programming/math.h/acos

< C Programming | math.h

The acos() function (which stands for arc cosine) is defined in math.h. It accepts a variable, returns the arc cosine value of the variable. This function expects the values in the range of -1 to 1 and values are returned in the range 0 to PI (3.1415927). It prints NAN if a value greater than 1 is passed.

Syntax

Parameters
