arctan2

Return arctangent of (y/x)

Declaration

Source position: math.pp line 330

function arctan2(

  y: Float;

  x: Float

):Float;

Description

arctan2 calculates arctan(y/x), and returns an angle in the correct quadrant. The returned angle will be in the range $-\pi$ to $\pi$ radians. The values of x and y must be between -2\^{}64 and 2\^{}64, moreover x should be different from zero. On Intel systems this function is implemented with the native intel fpatan instruction.
