$acosh (aggregation)

  • $acosh

New in version 4.2.

Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine (hyperbolic arc cosine) ofa value.

$acosh has the following syntax:

  1. { $acosh: <expression> }

$acosh takes any valid expression that resolves to a number between 1and +Infinity, e.g. 1 <= value <= +Infinity.

$acosh returns values in radians. Use$radiansToDegrees operator to convert the output valuefrom radians to degrees.

By default $acosh returns values as a double.$acosh can also return values as a128-bit decimalas long as the <expression> resolves to a 128-bit decimal value.

For more information on expressions, seeExpressions.

Behavior

null, NaN, and +/- Infinity

If the argument resolves to a value of null or refers to a fieldthat is missing, $acosh returns null. If the argumentresolves to NaN, $acosh returns NaN. If theargument resolves to negative infinity, $acosh throws anerror. If the argument resolves to Infinity, $acoshreturns Infinity. If the argument resolves to a value outside thebounds of [-1, Infinity] inclusive, $acosh throws an error.

ExampleResults
{ $acosh: NaN }NaN
{ $acosh: null }null
{ $acosh : Infinity}Infinity
{ $acosh : 0 }Throws an error message resembling the following formattedoutput:
  1. "errmsg" : "Failed to optimize pipeline :: caused by :: cannot apply $acosh to -inf, value must in (1,inf)"

Example

  • Inverse Hyperbolic Cosine of Value in Degrees
  • Inverse Hyperbolic Cosine of Value in Radians

The trigonometry collection contains a document thatstores a value along the x axis of a 2-D graph:

  1. {
  2. "_id" : ObjectId("5c50782193f833234ba90d85"),
  3. "x-coordinate" : NumberDecimal("3")
  4. }

The following aggregation operation uses the$acosh expression to calculate inverse hyperboliccosine of x-coordinate and add it to the input document usingthe $addFields pipeline stage.

  1. db.trigonometry.aggregate([
  2. {
  3. $addFields : {
  4. "y-coordinate" : {
  5. $radiansToDegrees : { $acosh : "$x-coordinate" }
  6. }
  7. }
  8. }
  9. ])

The $radiansToDegrees expression converts theradian value returned by $acosh to the equivalentvalue in degrees.

The command returns the following output:

  1. {
  2. "_id" : ObjectId("5c50782193f833234ba90d85"),
  3. "x-coordinate" : NumberDecimal("3"),
  4. "y-coordinate" : NumberDecimal("100.9979734210524228844295260083432")
  5. }

Since x-coordinate is stored as a128-bit decimal, the output of$acosh is a 128-bit decimal.
