acot

Compute the inverse cotangent of a double-precision floating-point number.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-acot

Usage

var acot = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-acot' );

acot( x )

Computes the inverse cotangent of a double-precision floating-point number (in radians).

var v = acot( 2.0 );
// returns ~0.4636

v = acot( Infinity );
// returns 0.0

Examples

var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var acot = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-acot' );

var x = linspace( -5.0, 5.0, 100 );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( acot( x[ i ] ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/acot.h"

stdlib_base_acot( x )

Computes the inverse cotangent of a double-precision floating-point number (in radians).

double out = stdlib_base_acot( 2.0 );
// returns ~0.4636

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value.

double stdlib_base_acot( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/acot.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { -5.0, -3.89, -2.78, -1.67, -0.56, 0.56, 1.67, 2.78, 3.89, 5.0 };
    
    double v;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
        v = stdlib_base_acot( x[ i ] );
        printf( "acot(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], v );
    }
}
