Math ASIN function
Hello all, I'm a newbie here and love this Scratch programming.
While learning this new language, I decided to learn while practicing with a program from my spreadsheet, but I wonder if there is something I am doing wrong with the asin function; for instance asin(0.3243243243243243) should return the answer of 0.3302973... but in scratch I am getting an answer of 18.92464441605123.
Please advise.

Re: Math ASIN function
Hi Nlucia,
Scratch calculates trig functions in degrees, but you're calculating trig functions in radians. Just switch over to using degrees.
