# cacosf Function

Calculates the complex arc cosine function of a single precision complex value.

Attention: This function is implemented only by MPLAB XC32 C compilers.

Include

<complex.h>

Prototype

float complex cacosf(float complex z);

Argument

 z value for which to return the complex arc cosine

Return Value

Returns the complex arc cosine of z with no bound along the imaginary axis, in the interval [0, π] along the real axis, and with branch cuts outside the interval [-1, +1] along the real axis.

Example

See the notes at the beginning of this chapter or section for information on using printf() or scanf() (and other functions reading and writing the stdin or stdout streams) in the example code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <complex.h>

int main(void)
{
float complex x, y;

x = -2.0 + 0.0*I;
y = cacosf(x);
printf("The complex arccosine of %f + %fi is %f + %fi\n", crealf(x), cimagf(x), crealf(y), cimagf(y));
}


Example Output

The complex arccosine of -2.000000 + 0.000000i is 3.141593 + -1.316958i
