function "_ARCSEC()" is wrong?
#7
The formula in the wiki seems to be wrong. Is the result of the formula from the QBasic-Manual correct?

Code: (Select All)

Option _Explicit

Dim As Integer x

x = 0
Const PI = 1.141593

'Print _Arcsec(-2.5
Print
Print _Acos(1 / -2.5)
Print
Print ARCSECF(-2.5)

End

Function ARCSECF (x) ' Inverse Secant

  Dim As Double Arcsec

  If x <= 1 Or x >= 1 Then
    Arcsec = Atn(Sqr(x * x - 1)) + Sgn(Sgn(x) - 1) * PI
  Else Beep
  End If
  ARCSECF = Arcsec
End Function
