cacos, cacosf, cacosl

Retrieves the arccosine of a complex number, with branch cuts outside the interval [-1, +1] along the real axis.

Syntax

_Dcomplex cacos( _Dcomplex z );
_Fcomplex cacosf( _Fcomplex z );
_Lcomplex cacosl( _Lcomplex z );

_Fcomplex cacos( _Fcomplex z );  // C++ only
_Lcomplex cacos( _Lcomplex z );  // C++ only

Parameters

z
A complex number that represents an angle, in radians.

Return value

The arc cosine of z, in radians. The result is unbounded along the imaginary axis, and bounded in the interval [0, π] along the real axis. A domain error will occur if z is outside the interval [-1, +1].

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of cacos that take and return _Fcomplex and _Lcomplex values. In a C program, cacos always takes and returns a _Dcomplex value.

Requirements

Routine	C header	C++ header
cacos, cacosf, cacosl	<complex.h>	<ccomplex>
