| Usage | Returns |
|---|---|
| `Array.asin()` | Array |

| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| this: `input` | Array | The input array. |

## Examples

### Code Editor (JavaScript)

```javascript
print(ee.Array([-1]).asin());  // [-π/2]
print(ee.Array([0]).asin());  // [0]
print(ee.Array([1]).asin());  // [π/2]

var start = -1;
var end = 1;
var points = ee.Array(ee.List.sequence(start, end, null, 50));
var values = points.asin();

// Plot asin() defined above.
var chart = ui.Chart.array.values(values, 0, points)
    .setOptions({
      viewWindow: {min: start, max: end},
      hAxis: {
        title: 'x',
        viewWindowMode: 'maximized',
        ticks: [
          {v: start, f: start},
          {v: 0, f: 0},
          {v: end, f: end}]
      },
      vAxis: {
        title: 'asin(x)',
        ticks: [
          {v: -Math.PI / 2, f: '-π/2'},
          {v: 0, f: 0},
          {v: Math.PI / 2, f: 'π/2'}]
      },
      lineWidth: 1,
      pointSize: 0,
    });
print(chart);
```
Python setup

See the [Python Environment](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/python_install) page for information on the Python API and using
`geemap` for interactive development.

```python
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
```

### Colab (Python)

```python
import math
import altair as alt
import pandas as pd

display(ee.Array([-1]).asin())  # [-π/2]
display(ee.Array([0]).asin())  # [0]
display(ee.Array([1]).asin())  # [π/2]

start = -1
end = 1
points = ee.Array(ee.List.sequence(start, end, None, 50))
values = points.asin()

df = pd.DataFrame({'x': points.getInfo(), 'asin(x)': values.getInfo()})

# Plot asin() defined above.
alt.Chart(df).mark_line().encode(
    x=alt.X('x', axis=alt.Axis(values=[start, 0, end])),
    y=alt.Y('asin(x)', axis=alt.Axis(values=[-math.pi / 2, 0, math.pi / 2]))
)
