1-3) Computes the principal value of the arc sine of num. The library provides overloads of std::asin for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter.(since C++23)
S) The SIMD overload performs an element-wise std::asin on v_num.
(See math-floating-point and deduced-simd-t for their definitions.)
(since C++26)
A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as double.
(since C++11)

[edit]Parameters

num - floating-point or integer value

[edit]Return value

If no errors occur, the arc sine of num (arcsin(num)) in the range [-
π
2
, +
π
2
]
, is returned.

If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned (NaN where supported).

If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.

[edit]Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

Domain error occurs if num is outside the range [-1.01.0].

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

  • If the argument is ±0, it is returned unmodified.
  • If |num| > 1, a domain error occurs and NaN is returned.
  • if the argument is NaN, NaN is returned.

[edit]Notes

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::asin(num) has the same effect as std::asin(static_cast<double>(num)).

[edit]Example

#include <cerrno>#include <cfenv>#include <cmath>#include <cstring>#include <iostream>   // #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON   int main(){std::cout<<"asin(1.0) = "<< asin(1)<<'\n'<<"2*asin(1.0) = "<<2* asin(1)<<'\n'<<"asin(-0.5) = "<< asin(-0.5)<<'\n'<<"6*asin(-0.5) ="<<6* asin(-0.5)<<'\n';   // special valuesstd::cout<<"asin(0.0) = "<< asin(0)<<" asin(-0.0)="<< asin(-0.0)<<'\n';   // error handlingerrno=0;std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);   std::cout<<"asin(1.1) = "<< asin(1.1)<<'\n';   if(errno==EDOM)std::cout<<" errno == EDOM: "<<std::strerror(errno)<<'\n';if(std::fetestexcept(FE_INVALID))std::cout<<" FE_INVALID raised"<<'\n';}

Possible output:

asin(1.0) = 1.5708 2*asin(1.0) = 3.14159 asin(-0.5) = -0.523599 6*asin(-0.5) = -3.14159 asin(0.0) = 0 asin(-0.0)=-0 asin(1.1) = nan errno == EDOM: Numerical argument out of domain FE_INVALID raised
