Hello!
Please put this example below the asin() function's description.
Thank you!

Example:
<?php
    $arg = 0.5;
    $val = asin($arg);
    echo "asin(" . $arg . ") = " . $val . " radians.<br/>";
    echo "Pi value = " . pi() . "<br/>";   
    echo "asin(" . $arg . ") = " . $val/pi()*180 . " degrees<br/>";

    $arg = 1;
    $val = asin($arg);
    echo "asin(" . $arg . ") = " . $val . " radians.<br/>";
    echo "Pi value = " . pi() . "<br/>";   
    echo "asin(" . $arg . ") = " . $val/pi()*180 . " degrees<br/>";
?>
