• x - The type shall be either real and a magnitude that is less than or equal to one or be complex.

Return value

The return value is of the same type and kind as x. The real part of the result is in radians and lies in the range $-\pi / 2 \leq \asin (x) \leq \pi / 2$.

Example

program test_asin
  real(8) :: x = 0.866_8
  x = asin(x)
end program test_asin
