acosd

acosd(x)

Compute the inverse cosine of x, where the output is in degrees

Examples

julia> acosd(0.5)
60.00000000000001

julia> acosd(1)
0.0

julia> acosd(-1)
180.0

julia> acosd(sqrt(3)/2)
30.000000000000004

The acosd function in Julia computes the inverse cosine of a given value x, where the output is in degrees. Here are some common examples of its use:

  1. Compute the inverse cosine of a value:

    julia> acosd(0.5)
    60.00000000000001

    In this example, the acosd function returns the inverse cosine of 0.5, which is approximately 60 degrees.

  2. Handle edge cases:

    julia> acosd(1)
    0.0
    
    julia> acosd(-1)
    180.0

    The acosd function correctly handles special cases where the input value is 1 or -1, returning 0 degrees and 180 degrees, respectively.

  3. Compute the inverse cosine of a trigonometric function:
    julia> acosd(sqrt(3)/2)
    30.000000000000004

    This example demonstrates the usage of acosd to compute the inverse cosine of sqrt(3)/2, which corresponds to approximately 30 degrees.

Please note that due to floating-point precision, the actual output values may have slight variations from the exact expected values.
