asin

Details #

Parameters #

Takes 1 argument. {{ asin(text) }}

Examples #

round(asin(1) * 2, 4)

Gotchas #

• Calling it with no argument or two arguments is an error: asin() takes 1 argument, got 2.

• Anything that isn't a number is an error: asin() needs a number, got text. Numeric text such as "0.5" is accepted.

• A number outside -1 to 1 has no arcsine; the step stops with asin() has no result for that number.
