Returns the angle whose sine is the specified number.

[ VB ]
Public Shared Function Asin ( _
   ByVal d As Double _
) As Double

[ C# ]
public static double Asin (
   double d
);

[ C++ ]
public: static double Asin (
   double d
);

[ JScript ]
public static function Asin (
   d : double
) : double;

d

A number representing a sine, where -1 ≤ d ≤ 1.

An angle, q, measured in radians, such that -π/2 ≤ q ≤ π/2

-or-

NaN if d < -1 or d > 1.

A positive return value represents a counterclockwise angle from the x-axis; a negative return value represents a clockwise angle.

Multiply the return value by 180/π to convert from radians to degrees.
