Arc sine (asin)

Description

Adds a new column that returns the arc sine of the values of a numeric field.

How does it work in the search window?

Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the Arc sine operation. You need to specify one argument:

The data type of the values in the new column is float.

Example

We want to get the arc sine of all the numbers in the -1to1Values_float column. To do it, we will create a new column using the Arc sine operation. Let's call the new column arcSine.

The arguments needed to create the new column are:

• Number - -1to1Values_float colum

Click Create column and you will see the following result:

How does it work in LINQ?

Use the operator select... as...  and add the operation syntax to create the new column. This is the syntax for the Arc sine operation:

• asin(number)

Example

You can copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the my.upload.sample.data table. 

from my.upload.sample.data
select split(message, ";", 17) as `-1to1Values`
select float(`-1to1Values`) as `-1to1Values_float`
  select asin(`-1to1Values_float`) as arcSine
