General description

The casin() family of functions compute the complex arc sine of z, with branch cuts outside the interval [-1, +1] along the real axis.
Note: The following table shows the viable formats for these functions. See IEEE binary floating-point for more information about IEEE Binary Floating-Point.

Returned value

The casin() family of functions return the complex arc sine value, in the range of a strip, mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [- π/2, + π/2] along the real axis.
