ASIN is one of the vital Numeric/Math functions of Oracle. It is used to get the arc sine of a number. The ASIN function is supported in the various versions of the Oracle/PLSQL, including, Oracle 12c, Oracle 11g, Oracle 10g, Oracle 9i, and Oracle 8i.
Syntax:
ASIN ( number )
Parameters:
number: It is used to specify the number to get the arc sine value.
Example 1:
ASIN (1)
Output:
1.57079633
Explanation:
The Arc sine means the inverse of the sine. The arc sine value of 1 is 90 degrees i.e., 1.57079633 radians, and so is the result.
Example 2:
ASIN (0.5)
Output:
0.52359878
Explanation:
The Arc sine means the inverse of the sine. The arc sine value of 0.5 is 30 degrees i.e., 0.52359878 radians, and so is the result.
Example 3:
ASIN (-0.5)
Output:
-0.52359878
Explanation:
The Arc sine means the inverse of the sine. The arc sine value of -0.5 is -30 degrees i.e., -0.52359878 radians, and so is the result.
