_Decimal128 x;The asinf, asinl, asin, asind32, asind64, and asind128 subroutines compute the principal value of the arc sine of the x parameter. The value of x should be in the range [-1,1].
An application wishing to check for error situations should set the errno global variable to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these subroutines. On return, if errno is nonzero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is nonzero, an error has occurred.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| x | Specifies the value to be computed. |
Upon successful completion, the asinf, asinl, asin, asind32, asind64, and asind128 subroutines return the arc sine of x, in the range [-pi /2, pi/2] radians.
For finite values of x not in the range [-1,1], a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is 0, x is returned.
If x is ±Inf, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
If x is subnormal, a range error may occur and x is returned.
