math.atan

Available inall subroutines.

Computes the principal value of the arc tangent of its argument x.

Parameters

x - Floating point value.

Return Value

Upon successful completion, this function returns the arc tangent of x in the range -math.PI_2 to math.PI_2 radians inclusive.

If x is math.NAN, a NaN will be returned.

If x is ±0, x will be returned.

If x is math.POS_INFINITY or math.NEG_INFINITY, ±math.PI_2 will be returned.

If x is subnormal, a range error occurs and x will be returned.

Errors

If the x argument is subnormal, then fastly.error will be set to ERANGE.

Example

declare local var.fo FLOAT;

set var.fo = math.atan(1);
