      F_TYPE acos (F_TYPE x)

      F_TYPE acosd (F_TYPE x)

1  –  Description

    acos() computes the principal value of the arc cosine of x in the
    interval [0,pi] radians for x in the interval [-1,1].

    acosd() computes the principal value of the arc cosine of x in
    the interval [0,180] degrees for x in the interval [-1,1].
