Purpose

Computes the complex arc sine.

Syntax

#include <complex.h>

double complex casin (z)
double complex z;

Description

The casin, casinf, or casinl subroutine computes the complex arc sine of the z parameter, with branch cuts outside the interval [-1, +1] along the real axis.

Parameters

z Specifies the value to be computed.

Return Values

The casin, casinf, or casinl subroutine returns the complex arc sine value, in the range of a strip mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [-pi/2, +pi/2] along the real axis.
