std::asin,std::asinf,std::asinl(3)

NAME
std::asin,std::asinf,std::asinl - std::asin,std::asinf,std::asinl

Synopsis
   Defined in header <cmath>
   float asin ( float num );
   double asin ( double num ); (until C++23)
   long double asin ( long double num );
   /* floating-point-type */ (since C++23)
               asin ( /* floating-point-type */ num ); (constexpr since C++26)
   float asinf( float num ); (1) (2) (since C++11)
                        (constexpr since C++26)
   long double asinl( long double num ); (3) (since C++11)
                        (constexpr since C++26)
   Additional overloads (since C++11)
   Defined in header <cmath>
   template< class Integer > (A) (constexpr since C++26)
   double asin ( Integer num );
   1-3) Computes the principal value of the arc sine of num.
   The library provides overloads of std::asin for all cv-unqualified floating-point
   types as the type of the parameter.
   (since C++23)
   A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are (since C++11)
   treated as double.

Parameters
   num - floating-point or integer value

Return value
   If no errors occur, the arc sine of num (arcsin(num)) in the range [-
   π
   2
   , +
   π
   2
   ], is returned.
   If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned (NaN where
   supported).
   If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is
   returned.

Error handling
   Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.
   Domain error occurs if num is outside the range [-1.0, 1.0].
   If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),
     * If the argument is ±0, it is returned unmodified.
     * If |num| > 1, a domain error occurs and NaN is returned.
     * if the argument is NaN, NaN is returned.

Notes
   The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only
   need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type,
   std::asin(num) has the same effect as std::asin(static_cast<double>(num)).

Example
// Run this code
 #include <cerrno>
 #include <cfenv>
 #include <cmath>
 #include <cstring>
 #include <iostream>
 // #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
 int main()
 {
     std::cout << "asin(1.0) = " << asin(1) << '\n'
               << "2*asin(1.0) = " << 2 * asin(1) << '\n'
               << "asin(-0.5) = " << asin(-0.5) << '\n'
               << "6*asin(-0.5) =" << 6 * asin(-0.5) << '\n';
     // special values
     std::cout << "asin(0.0) = " << asin(0) << " asin(-0.0)=" << asin(-0.0) << '\n';
     // error handling
     errno = 0;
     std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
     std::cout << "asin(1.1) = " << asin(1.1) << '\n';
     if (errno == EDOM)
         std::cout << " errno == EDOM: " << std::strerror(errno) << '\n';
     if (std::fetestexcept(FE_INVALID))
         std::cout << " FE_INVALID raised" << '\n';
 }

Possible output:
 asin(1.0) = 1.5708
 2*asin(1.0) = 3.14159
 asin(-0.5) = -0.523599
 6*asin(-0.5) = -3.14159
 asin(0.0) = 0 asin(-0.0)=-0
 asin(1.1) = nan
     errno == EDOM: Numerical argument out of domain
     FE_INVALID raised
