asin()

The Mathematical Function asin() returns the sinus angle in radian measure for the value of the parameter "number" .

Syntax of the Mathematical Function asin()

    asin(number)
    

The parameter "number" of the Mathematical Function asin()

number
The parameter "number" is a placeholder for column names, variables or constants, which have to be available as float, real, double precision datatypes. Additionally, the parameter "number" recognises all datatypes that can be converted with implicit conversion into any of the required datatypes.

Example for the Mathematical Function asin()

    select asin(0.5)
go
-----
0.523599

returns the sinus in radian measure for the value 0.5.

    select degrees(asin(0.5))
go
-----
30.000000

Returns the sinus of the value 0.5.
