## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var ahaversin = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ahaversin' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### ahaversin( x )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Computes the [inverse half-value versed sine][archaversine].
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var v = ahaversin( 0.0 );
|
||
|
// returns 0.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = ahaversin( 1.0 );
|
||
|
// returns ~3.1416
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = ahaversin( 0.5 );
|
||
|
// returns ~1.5708
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If `x < 0`, `x > 1`, or `x` is `NaN`, the function returns `NaN`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var v = ahaversin( 1.5 );
|
||
|
// returns NaN
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = ahaversin( -3.14 );
|
||
|
// returns NaN
|
||
|
|
||
|
v = ahaversin( NaN );
|
||
|
// returns NaN
|
||
|
```
