std::asin(std::valarray)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | valarray
 
 
 
 
Defined in header <valarray>
template< class T >
valarray<T> asin( const valarray<T>& va );

For each element in va computes arc sine of the value of the element.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

va - value array to apply the operation to

[edit] Return value

Value array containing arc sines of the values in va.

[edit] Notes

Unqualified function (asin) is used to perform the computation. If such function is not available, std::asin is used due to argument-dependent lookup.

The function can be implemented with the return type different from std::valarray. In this case, the replacement type has the following properties:

[edit] Possible implementation

template<class T>
valarray<T> asin(const valarray<T>& va)
{
    valarray<T> other = va;
    for (T &i : other) {
        i = asin(i);
    }
    return other;
}

[edit] Example

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>
 
const double pi = 4.0 * atan(1.0); // C++20: std::numbers::pi
const double s22 = std::sqrt(2.0) / 2.0;
const double s32 = std::sqrt(3.0) / 2.0;
 
int main()
{
    // take common y-values from unit circle
    const std::valarray<double> v1 = {-1.0, -s32, -s22, -0.5, 0.0, 
                                       0.5,  s22,  s32,  1.0};
    const std::valarray<double> v2 = std::asin(v1) * 180.0 / pi;
 
    std::cout << std::showpos;
    for(double n : v2)
        std::cout << n << "° ";
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

-90° -60° -45° -30° +0° +30° +45° +60° +90°
