C-Sharp Acos Example – Code Sample Syntax
C-Sharp Acos Example – Code Sample Syntax
Purpose: – Illustrates using C-Sharp Acos Code Example.
Purpose:
takes a cosine as double data type number and returns
a double value that represents the angle in radians (you can convert
the radians to degrees by multiplying them by Math.PI/180)
Syntax:
Acos(double)
Acos(double)
| Parameters | Description | double | Any valid System.Double data type number between -1 and +1 – this represents the cosine that is to be converted into radians for an angle. if number < -1 or > 1, NaN is returned – NaN stands for Not a Number |
|---|
| Result Data Type | Description | double | an angle measured in radians. The angle must be between 0 and pie. |
|---|
| Quick Example | Acos(-0) // Returns 1.5707963267949 |
|---|

Prerequistes:
- Install C-Sharp (Express or Standard Edition)
- Install SQL Server Express
- Download Northwind and pubs Database
- Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
- Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express
Notes:
- Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
- You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.cs
Instructions:
- Use C-Sharp 2010 Express or Standard Edition
- Create new project;
- Click File/New Project
- Select Console Application Template
- Select C-Sharp for Language
- name of project could be C-Sharp_Syntax.
- Add New folder named “Functions”
- Right-click project name in solution explorer;
- add new folder;
- name of folder could be: Functions
- Add New subfolder named “MathFunctions”
- Right-click Functions folder in solution explorer;
- add new folder;
- name of folder could be: MathFunctions
- Add Class Named clsAcos to MathFunctions folder
- Right-click MathFunctions folder;
- add new item;
- Select class
- Class name could be clsAcos
- Click on cs in code in step 1 above to copy code into clsAcos.cs
- Click on cs in code in step 2 above to copy code into Module1.cs
- Click green arrow or press F5 to run program
