Description:

ACOSH(X) computes the hyperbolic arccosine of X (inverse of COSH(X)).

Standard:

Fortran 2008 and later

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = ACOSH(X)

Arguments:

X	The type shall be REAL or COMPLEX.

Return value:

The return value has the same type and kind as X

Example:

          PROGRAM test_acosh
            REAL(8), DIMENSION(3) :: x = (/ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 /)
            WRITE (*,*) ACOSH(x)
          END PROGRAM
