Synopsis
#include <math.h>
float atan2f(float y, float x);
Description
atan2f returns the value, in radians, of the inverse circular tangent of y divided by x using the signs of x and y to compute the quadrant of the return value. The principal value lies in the interval [-PI/2, +PI/2] radians.
Fast math library behavior
If x = y = 0, errno is set to EDOM and atan2f returns HUGE_VALF.
IEC 60559 math library behavior
atan2f(x, NaN) is NaN
atan2f(NaN, x) is NaN
atan2f(±0, +(anything but NaN)) is ±0
atan2f(±0, -(anything but NaN)) is ±?
atan2f(±(anything but 0 and NaN), 0) is ±?/2
atan2f(±(anything but ∞ and NaN), +∞) is
±0
atan2f(±(anything but ∞ and NaN), -∞) is
±?
atan2f(±∞, +∞) is ±?/4
atan2f(±∞, -∞) is ±3?/4
atan2f(±∞, (anything but 0, NaN, and ∞))
is ±?/2
Portability
atan2f conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (C90) and ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99).
