atan

#include <math.h>

float atan (
  float x);   /* number to calculate arc tangent of */

The atan function calculates the arc tangent of the floating-point number x.

The atan function returns the arc tangent of x.

For x ∈ (-∞, ∞), atan(x) → (-π/2, π/2).
For x = NaN, atan(x) → NaN.
For x = ±INF, atan(x) → ±π/2.
