ACOT
ACOT: Returns the angle in radians whose cotangent is the input value.
Summary
ACOT maps real inputs to principal angles in (0, PI()).
Remarks
- Domain: accepts any real number, including
0. - Radians: output is in
(0, PI()), withACOT(0) = PI()/2. - Errors: no function-specific domain errors are produced.
