atan2(y, x): ArcTangent

Arctangent function or inverse tangent function.

Declaration

Sintaxe

retval = atan2(y, x)
elemental real(p) function atan2(y, x)

Argumentos

y the input value is the imaginary part of the complex expression

\(x + iy\)

x the input value, must be real part of the complex expression.

Valores de retorno

The returned value has the kind and TYPE as of the input value y. The principal value of the argument function of the complex expression \(x + iy\) is returned.

Descrição

atan2(y, x) computes the principal value of the argument function of the complex expression \(x + iy\). This is used to transform from cartesian into polar coordinates and allows to determine the angle in the correct quadrant.

It is also represented as:

\(tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})\)

If x is nonzero, the result lies in the range:

\(-\pi <= atan(x) <= \pi\)

The sign is positive if y is positive.

If y is zero and x is strictly positive, then the result is 0.

If x is negative and y is positive zero, then the result is \(\pi\).

If x is negative and y is negative zero, then the result is \(-\pi\).

If x is zero, then the magnitude of the result is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).

If y is negative real zero, the result is \(\frac{-\pi}{2}\).

Tipos

Supported argument type is real.
