double

acospi(double x);

float

acospif(float x);

long double

acospil(long double x);

Library

Overview

The acospi(), acospif(), and acospil() functions compute the principal value of the arc cosine of x, divided by , thus measuring the angle in half-cycles.

Return values

The acospi(), acospif(), and acospil() functions return values in the range [-1, +1]. If |x| > 1, acospi(x) raise an invalid exception and returns an .

Standards

The acospi(), acospif(), and acospil() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:2024 (“ISO C23”).
