BOOTSTRAP (klibm) functions


LIBRARY ROUTINE

kasin - compute the arc sine of the argument.

LIBRARY CALL

double kasin(double x)

INPUT

OUTPUT

none

RETURN VALUE

the double precision arc sine of the input argument.

DESCRIPTION

The kasin function computes arc sine of the double precision input argument, whose value lies between -1 and 1.

This is provided in all POSIX and X/OPEN compliant C math libraries. Currently kasin is simply a macro to asin because Khoros does not run on any machine whose math library does not include this function. If Khoros is ported to a machine without this function then a replacement will be written.
