1-3) Computes the inverse hyperbolic cosine of
arg.4) Type-generic macro: If the argument has type long double,
acoshl is called. Otherwise, if the argument has integer type or the type double, acosh is called. Otherwise, acoshf is called. If the argument is complex, then the macro invokes the corresponding complex function (cacoshf, cacosh, cacoshl).Parameters
| arg | - | floating point value representing the area of a hyperbolic sector |
Return value
If no errors occur, the inverse hyperbolic cosine of arg (cosh-1
(arg), or arcosh(arg)) on the interval [0, +∞], is returned.
If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned (NaN where supported).
Error handling
Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.
If the argument is less than 1, a domain error occurs.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),
- if the argument is less than 1, FE_INVALID is raised an NaN is returned
- if the argument is 1, +0 is returned
- if the argument is +∞, +∞ is returned
- if the argument is NaN, NaN is returned.
Notes
Although the C standard names this function "arc hyperbolic cosine", the inverse functions of the hyperbolic functions are the area functions. Their argument is the area of a hyperbolic sector, not an arc. The correct name is "inverse hyperbolic cosine" (used by POSIX) or "area hyperbolic cosine".
Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <float.h> #include <errno.h> #include <fenv.h> #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON int main(void) { printf("acosh(1) = %f\nacosh(10) = %f\n", acosh(1), acosh(10)); printf("acosh(DBL_MAX) = %f\nacosh(Inf) = %f\n", acosh(DBL_MAX), acosh(INFINITY)); // error handling errno = 0; feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT); printf("acosh(0.5) = %f\n", acosh(0.5)); if (errno == EDOM) perror(" errno == EDOM"); if (fetestexcept(FE_INVALID)) puts(" FE_INVALID raised"); }
Possible output:
acosh(1) = 0.000000
acosh(10) = 2.993223
acosh(DBL_MAX) = 710.475860
acosh(Inf) = inf
acosh(0.5) = -nan
errno == EDOM: Numerical argument out of domain
