double atan2( double y, double x )

Parameters

y: [input] Any numbers.
x: [input] Any numbers.

Return

Examples

EX1

// This program computes and displays the arctangent of y/x.
int test_atan2()
{
    double vv;
    vv = atan2(2.5,2.5);
    out_double("atan2(2.5,2.5)=", vv);        //output should be atan2(2.5,2.5)=0.7854
    ASSERT( is_equal(vv, PI/4) );
    vv = atan2(0,0);
    out_double("atan2(0,0)=", vv);            //output should be atan2(0,0)=0
    ASSERT( is_equal(vv, 0) );
