Question
how to get sin-1/arc sine in javascript
This time I ask doubly humbled because not only am I weak in JavaScript but Ive come to realize that Ive gotten pretty bad at mathematics
On my calculator the key »sin-1« (sinus to the power of negative one) gets me the angle in degrees if I enter the value I get by dividing the opposite side by the hypothenuse (of a right triangle naturally), but I cant figure out how to achieve that in JavaScript.
The calculator-key signifies the arc sine, which the function Math.asin() should also provide but I dont seem to get meaningful results, instead the result looks like what on my calculator is called the hyperbolic sine.
Could someone please help me out here Script- and/or math-wise?
