C++ <valarray> - acos() Function



The C++ <valarray> acos() function returns a valarray containing arc cosine value of all the elements of valarray va, in the same order. This function overloads with cmath's acos() function and calls this function once for each element.

Syntax

template<class T> valarray<T> acos (const valarray<T>& va);

Parameters

va Specify valarray containing elements of a type for which the function acos() is defined.

Return Value

Returns valarray containing arc cosine value of all the elements of va.

Example:

The example below shows the usage of acos() function.

#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>
using namespace std;

int main (){
  valarray<double> va1 = {0, 0.25, 0.5, 1};
  
  //va2 will contain arc cosine value
  //of all elements of va1
  valarray<double> va2 = acos(va1);
 
  cout<<fixed;
  cout<<"va1 contains: ";
  for(int i = 0; i < va1.size(); i++)
    cout<<va1[i]<<" ";

  cout<<"\nva2 contains: ";
  for(int i = 0; i < va2.size(); i++)
    cout<<va2[i]<<" ";   
  
  return 0;
}

The output of the above code will be:

va1 contains: 0.000000 0.250000 0.500000 1.000000 
va2 contains: 1.570796 1.318116 1.047198 0.000000
