acos, acosf, acosl − arc cosine function

double
acos(double x);
float acosf(float x);
long double acosl(long double x);
Link with −lm.
The acos() function calculates the arc cosine of x; that is the value whose cosine is x. If x falls outside the range −1 to 1, acos() fails and errno is set.
The acos() function returns the arc cosine in radians and the value is mathematically defined to be between 0 and PI (inclusive).
