Syntax

Y = asind(X)

Description

example

Y = asind(X) returns the inverse sine (sin-1) of the elements of X in degrees. The function accepts both real and complex inputs.

  • For real values of X in the interval [-1, 1], asind(X) returns values in the interval [-90, 90].

  • For real values of X outside the interval [-1, 1] and for complex values of X, asind(X) returns complex values.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Sine of angle, specified as a real-valued or complex-valued scalar, vector, matrix, or N-D array. The asind operation is element-wise when X is nonscalar.

Data Types: single | double
Complex Number Support: Yes

Output Arguments

collapse all

Angle in degrees, returned as a real-valued or complex-valued scalar, vector, matrix, or N-D array of the same size as X.
