Computes the inverse hyperbolic cosine (also known as arcosh) of the given column or expression. Supports Spark Connect.

For the corresponding Databricks SQL function, see acosh function.

Syntax

Python
from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf

dbf.acosh(col=<col>)

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

col

pyspark.sql.Column or column name

The target column or expression to compute the inverse hyperbolic cosine on.

Returns

pyspark.sql.Column: A new column object representing the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the input.

Examples

Python
from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf
df = spark.createDataFrame([(1,), (2,)], ["value"])
df.select("*", dbf.acosh(df.value)).show()
Output
+-----+------------------+
|value| ACOSH(value)|
+-----+------------------+
| 1| 0.0|
| 2|1.3169578969248...|
+-----+------------------+

Python
from pyspark.databricks.sql import functions as dbf
spark.sql(
"SELECT * FROM VALUES (-0.5), (0.5), (NULL) AS TAB(value)"
).select("*", dbf.acosh("value")).show()
Output
+-----+------------+
|value|ACOSH(value)|
+-----+------------+
| -0.5| NaN|
| 0.5| NaN|
| NULL| NULL|
