NAME
atan2, atan2f, atan2l - arc tangent function of two variables
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double atan2(double y, double x);
float atan2f(float y, float x);
long double atan2l(long double y, long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
atan2f(),
atan2l():
-
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or
cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
The
atan2()
function calculates the principal value of the arc tangent of
y/x,
using the signs of the two arguments to determine
the quadrant of the result.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc tangent of
y/x
in radians; the return value is in the range [-pi, pi].
If
y
is +0 (-0) and
x
is less than 0, +pi (-pi) is returned.
If
y
is +0 (-0) and
x
is greater than 0, +0 (-0) is returned.
If
y
is less than 0 and
x
is +0 or -0, -pi/2 is returned.
If
y
is greater than 0 and
x
is +0 or -0, pi/2 is returned.
If either
x
or
y
is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If
y
is +0 (-0) and
x
is -0, +pi (-pi) is returned.
If
y
is +0 (-0) and
x
is +0, +0 (-0) is returned.
If
y
is a finite value greater (less) than 0, and
x
is negative infinity, +pi (-pi) is returned.
If
y
is a finite value greater (less) than 0, and
x
is positive infinity, +0 (-0) is returned.
If
y
is positive infinity (negative infinity), and
x
is finite,
pi/2 (-pi/2) is returned.
If
y
is positive infinity (negative infinity) and
x
is negative infinity, +3*pi/4 (-3*pi/4) is returned.
If
y
is positive infinity (negative infinity) and
x
is positive infinity, +pi/4 (-pi/4) is returned.
ERRORS
No errors occur.
CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
The variant returning
double
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
