ACOT macro

The ACOT macro is available only in Unica Campaign.

Syntax

ACOT(data [, units_keyword])

Parameters

data

The numerical values to compute the arc cotangent of. This can be a constant value, a column, a cell range, or an expression evaluating to any of the above. For the format definition of data, see the "Macro Function Parameters" section in the chapter in this guide for your product.

units_keyword

This optional keyword determines whether the input values and results are interpreted as degrees or radians. Select one of the following:

RADIAN - Performs the calculations in radians (default)

DEGREE - Performs the calculations in degrees

If this parameter is not specified, the default is radians. (To convert from radians to degrees, divide by PI and multiply by 180.)

For more details on using keywords in Unica Campaign, see Format Specifications.

Description

ACOT returns the angle whose cotangent is the contents of each cell. ACOT returns one new column for each input column, each containing the arccotangent of numbers in the corresponding input column. 64-bit floating-point numbers are used.

Examples

TEMP = ACOT(0.5) or TEMP = ACOT(0.5, 0) or TEMP = ACOT(0.5, RADIAN)

Creates a column named TEMP containing the value 2.157 (radians).

TEMP = ACOT(1, 1) or TEMP = ACOT(1, DEGREE)

Creates a column named TEMP containing the value 0.022 (1/45) degrees.

TEMP = ACOT(0)

Creates a column named TEMP containing the value MAX32_Float in radians.

TEMP = ACOT(V1)

Creates a new column named TEMP, where each value is the arccotangent (in radians) of the contents of column V1.

TEMP = ACOT(V1:V3, 1)

Creates three new columns named TEMP, VX, and VY. The values in the TEMP column are the arccotangents of the contents of column V1, the values of the VX column are the arccotangents of the contents of column V2, and the values of the VY column are the arccotangents of the contents of column V3. All values are in degrees.

TEMP = ACOT(V1[10:20])

Creates a new column named TEMP, where the first 11 cells contain the arccotangents of the values in rows 10-20 of column V1 (in radians). The other cells in TEMP are empty.

TEMP = ACOT(V1[1:5]:V2)

Creates two new columns named TEMP and VX, each with values in rows 1-5 (the other cells are empty). The values in column TEMP are the arccotangents of the corresponding rows of column V1, and the values in column VX are the arccotangents of the corresponding rows of column V2. All values are in radians.
