take the arcsine of a number in rust

To take the arcsine of a number in Rust, you can use the asin method from the f32 or f64 module of the std::f32 or std::f64 crate respectively.

Here's an example code snippet that takes the arcsine of a number:

main.rs
fn main() {
    let x = 0.5;
    let arcsine_x = f64::asin(x);
    println!("arcsine({}) = {}", x, arcsine_x);
}
113 chars
6 lines

This will output:

main.rs
arcsine(0.5) = 0.5235987755982989
34 chars
2 lines

Here, the asin method takes a floating-point number as an argument and returns the arcsine of the number in radians. The returned value is also a floating-point number. The example uses the f64 version of asin, but you can use f32::asin for single-precision floating-point numbers.

Note that the input value should be in the range [-1, 1] for the asin function to give a valid result.
