take the arcsine of a number in python

To take the arcsine of a number in Python, you can use the asin() function from the built-in math module.

Here's an example:

main.py
import math

x = 0.5
y = math.asin(x)

print(y) # prints 0.5235987755982989

7 lines

In this example, we import the math module and assign the value 0.5 to the variable x. We then use the asin() function to calculate the arcsine of x and assign the result to the variable y. Finally, we print the value of y.

Note that the asin() function returns the result in radians, so the value printed in this example is approximately 0.5236 radians, or about 30 degrees. If you want the result in degrees, you can use the degrees() function from the math module to convert it:

main.py
import math

x = 0.5
y = math.asin(x)
y_degrees = math.degrees(y)

print(y_degrees) # prints 30.000000000000004
