Python math domain error using math.acos function :
SOLUTION 1 :
You are trying to do acos
of a number for which the acos
does not exist.
Acos - Arccosine , which is the inverse of cosine function.
The value of input for acos range from -1 <= x <= 1
.
Hence , when trying to do – math.acos(1.0000000000000002)
you are getting the error.
If you try higher numbers, you will keep getting the same error – math.acos(2)
– leads to – ValueError: math domain error
SOLUTION 2 :
Inverse cosine is defined only between -1 and 1, inclusive. The arc-cosine of 1.0000000000000002 has no mathematical or semantic meaning other than “does not exist” or “undefined”.
Of course, since inverse cosine of 1 does exist, acos(1) doesn’t throw any error.
