atan, atanf, atanl - arc tangent function
#include <math.h>
double atan(double x); float atanf(float x); long double atanl( long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
atanf(), atanl():
These functions calculate the principal value of the arc tangent of x; that is the value whose tangent is x.
On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc tangent of x in radians; the return value is in the range [-pi/2, pi/2].
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), +pi/2 (-pi/2) is returned.
No errors occur.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
