arccos_deg

Description

Computes the arc cosine of the input. The result is a float64, specified in degrees, in the range [0, 180]

Arguments

  1. input (required) Ratio to find the arc cosine of, float64. Must be in the range [-1, 1], otherwise the function returns null.

Return type

float64

Domain

This is a scalar function (calculates a single output value for a single input row.)

Examples

make_col arccos:arccos_deg(ratio)

Create a column ‘arccos’ with the result of the arc cosine of column ‘ratio’
The resulting column will be in degrees.

Given the below column ratio, arccos_deg produces the below column arccos
Ratio should be a floating point number and in the range [-1, 1]. Any inputs outside this range have the result null.
