The java.lang.Math.acos() returns the arc cosine of an angle in between 0.0 and pi. Arc cosine is also called as inverse of a cosine.If the argument is NaN or its absolute value is greater than 1, then the result is NaN.
Syntax :
public static double acos(double a) Parameter : a : the value whose arc cosine is to be returned. Return : This method returns the arc cosine of the argument.
Example :To show working of java.lang.Math.acos() method.
// Java program to demonstrate working // of java.lang.Math.acos() method import java.lang.Math;   class Gfg {       // driver code     public static void main(String args[])     {         double a = Math.PI;           // Output is NaN, because Math.PI gives 3.141 value         // greater than 1         System.out.println(Math.acos(a));           // convert Math.PI to radians         double b = Math.toRadians(a);           System.out.println(Math.acos(b));           double c = 1.0 ;         double d = 0.0 ;         double e = - 1.0 ;         double f = 1.5 ;           System.out.println(Math.acos(c));         System.out.println(Math.acos(d));         System.out.println(Math.acos(e));           // value of f does not lie in between -1 and 1        // so output is NaN         System.out.println(Math.acos(f));     } } |
Output:
NaN 1.5159376794536454 0.0 1.5707963267948966 3.141592653589793 NaN
