Acos

Applies to
SyntaxAcos(NumberExpression)
Action[Function] Returns the arccosine of an angle.
ScopeUsable anywhere.
Notes

This function returns the arccosine of the argument, NumberExpression. Note that NumberExpression is an angle and Equinox requires that you should express it in radians rather than degrees (360º = 2p * radians). You may use the Rad function to convert degrees to radians.
