relationalai.std.math.asin()

asin(number: Number|Producer) -> Expression

Calculates the inverse sine (arcsine) of number, where number is specified in radians and must be in the range -1 to 1. If number is a Producer, asin() filters out any non-number or invalid values from the producer. Must be called in a rule or query context.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`number`	`Producer` or Python `Number` object	The value to calculate the arcsine of, in the range `-1` to `1`.

Returns

An Expression object.

Example

Use asin() to calculate the arcsine of a value in radians:

import relationalai as rai
from relationalai.std import math


# =====
# SETUP
# =====

model = rai.Model("MyModel")
Satellite = model.Type("Satellite")

with model.rule():
    Satellite.add(id=1).set(name="SatA", orientation=0.5)
    Satellite.add(id=2).set(name="SatB", orientation=1.0)
    Satellite.add(id=3).set(name="SatC", orientation=-1.5)      # Out of range
    Satellite.add(id=4).set(name="SatD", orientation="INVALID") # Non-numeric value


# =======
# EXAMPLE
# =======

# Set an orientation_asin property to the arcsine of each satellite's orientation.
with model.rule():
    satellite = Satellite()
    satellite.set(orientation_asin=math.asin(satellite.orientation))

# Since asin() filters out non-numeric or out-of-range values, the orientation_asin
# property is not set for satellites with IDs 3 and 4.
with model.query() as select:
    satellite = Satellite()
    response = select(satellite.id, satellite.name, satellite.orientation_asin)

print(response.results)
#    id  name  orientation_asin
# 0   1  SatA          0.523599
# 1   2  SatB          1.570796
# 2   3  SatC               NaN
# 3   4  SatD               NaN
