A number representing an angle in radians.

Example

//--Converts the Cosine of -.5 to radians using .Acos method. Then pass that number into the .Cos method to return the cosine value.

var lnACos = Math.Acos(-.5)

var lcMath = 'lnACos = Math.Acos(-.5): ' + Convert.ToString(Math.Acos(-.5)) + '\n';

lcMath += 'Math.Cos(lnACos): ' + Convert.ToString(Math.Cos(lnACos)) + '\n';

Event.Form.MessageBox(lcMath);

 

/* Expected Prompt Result:

lnACos = Math.Acos(-.5): 2.0943951023932

Math.Cos(lnACos): -0.500000000000004
