JavaScript
// Calculates angle of a right-angle triangle in radians
function calcAngle(opposite, hypotenuse) {
return Math.asin(opposite / hypotenuse);
}
console.log(calcAngle(6, 10));
// expected output: 0.6435011087932844
console.log(calcAngle(5, 3));
// expected output: NaN
Math.asin(-2); // NaN
Math.asin(-1); // -1.5707963267948966 (-pi/2)
Math.asin(0); // 0
Math.asin(0.5); // 0.5235987755982989
Math.asin(1); // 1.5707963267948966 (pi/2)
Math.asin(2); // NaN
