The documentation of asin should be just enoough:
'(it) Computes the principal value of the arc sine of arg'
That is you get the first quadrant angle correnspondig to the sin value passed as argument. The following program
#include #include using namespace std;
int main()
{
const size_t N = 18;
const double delta = M_PI/N;for ( double phi = 0; phi < 2*M_PI; phi += delta)
{
double s = sin(phi);
double a = asin(s);
cout << "phi = " << phi << ", sin(phi) = " << s << ", asin(sin(phi)) = " << a << "\n";
}
cout << endl;
}outputs

phi = 5I`m doing something wrong. In a right triangle the hypotenuse length is 80.62 the triangle side length opposing the angle is 40. The windows calculator result for inverse sin 40/80.6225 is 29.74 When I do the math with asinf() I`m getting 0.519

Post your code, then. The following program
#include
#include
using namespace std;int main()
{
double angle = asin( 40/80.6225 );
cout << "angle " << angle << " (" << (angle * 180 / M_PI) << " degrees)" << endl;
}Outputs
angle 0.519147 (29.7449 degrees)

You probably mix degrees with radians.

Math is tricky

after conversion the result is as it should be , thanks

phi = 5I`m working on several things at the same time. Don`t go wandering if I`m active simultaneously in two threads.

That is you get the first quadrant angle correnspondig to the sin value passed as argument.
What`s the formula when you want work with remaining quadrants? This formula doesn`t work always.

I have a tough time finding the inverse sinus math function in c++. There is asinf() but I`m not sure about what it does. [fixed] Displaying a float in StringCchPrintfA
I have my object rotation algorithm working though it will only rotate 180 degrees atm. It`s an algorithm that handles object rotations without matrices.
