# asin({n})

Returns the arcsine value of radians value `{n}`. `{n}` can be any real number in the range of -1 \<= `{n}` \<= 1. If `null` is passed as an argument, `sin()` returns `null`.

`asin({n})` takes the following syntax.

```nolang
SELECT ASIN(N) as ALIAS
FROM DATASET;
```

## Example

This example takes the arcsine of 35 degrees.

```nolang
SELECT ASIN(RADIANS(35)) as asinValue
FROM "Opportunity"
LIMIT 1;
```
