acos (Function)

This function will calculate the arc cosine of an angle.

Note: This function works with DOUBLE, but can also work with FLOAT as described in the Floating-point math introductory section.

Input:

V : DOUBLE (-1 .. +1)

Value to compute the arc cosine of.

Returns: DOUBLE

The arc cosine of the angle in radians. If V is invalid, NaN is returned.

Declaration:

FUNCTION acos : DOUBLE;
VAR_INPUT
v : DOUBLE;
END_VAR;

Example:

INCLUDE rtcu.inc
INCLUDE math.inc
 
PROGRAM test;
VAR
  a : DOUBLE;
END_VAR;
 
a := cos(v:=0.4);
DebugMsg(message:=" cos " + doubleToStr(v := a));
DebugMsg(message:="acos " + doubleToStr(v := acos(v:=a)));
a := sin(v:=0.4);
DebugMsg(message:=" sin " + doubleToStr(v := a));
DebugMsg(message:="asin " + doubleToStr(v := asin(v:=a)));
a := tan(v:=0.4);
DebugMsg(message:=" tan " + doubleToStr(v := a));
DebugMsg(message:="atan " + doubleToStr(v := atan(v:=a)));
a := atan2(a:=10.0, b:= 10.0);
DebugMsg(message:="atan2 " + doubleToStr(v := a));
