atan2 ? arc tangent function of two variables |
#include <math.h> double atan2(double y, double x); |
The atan2() function calculates the arc tangent of the two variables x and y. It is similar to calculating the arc tangent of y / x, except that the signs of both arguments are used to determine the quadrant of the result. |
The atan2() function returns the result in radians, which is between -PI and PI (inclusive). |
