JavaScript asin() Method

Definition and Usage

The asin() method returns the arcsine of a number as a numeric value between
-PI/2 and PI/2 radians.

Syntax

Math.asin(x)

Parameter Description
x Required. Must be a numeric value in the range -1 to 1


Tips and Notes

Note: If the parameter x is outside the range -1 to 1, the browser will return NaN.
Note: 1 will return the value of PI/2.

Example

In this example we will get the arcsine of different numbers:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(Math.asin(0.64) + "<br />");
document.write(Math.asin(0) + "<br />");
document.write(Math.asin(-1) + "<br />");
document.write(Math.asin(1) + "<br />");
document.write(Math.asin(2));
</script>

The output of the code above will be:

0.6944982656265559
0
-1.5707963267948965
1.5707963267948965
