acos − arc cosine function
#include <math.h>
double acos(double x);
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).
