  2. C
  3. acos - Returns the value of cosine
acos - Returns the value of cosine
Explanation: Acos is used to find the arccosine of a number (give it a cosine value and it will return the angle, in radians corresponding to that value). It must be passed an argument between -1 and 1.


Syntax:
acos(int value);


  #include <math.h>
  #include <stdio.h>

  int main(void)
  {
    double val = -1.0;

    do {
      printf("Arc cosine of %f is %f.\n", val, acos(val));
      val += 0.1;
    } while(val<=1.0);

    return 0;
  }
