atan()

The atan() function returns the inverse tangent of an argument in radians.

Syntax

atan(n)

The n parameter can be any real number (positive, negative, or zero).

• If n is zero, the result will be zero with the same sign.
• If n is postive or negative infinity, the result will be 1.5708 radians with the same sign.

Example

The following example uses the atan() function that returns the inverse tangent of value 0.0:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>


int main() {
  double x = 0.0;
  double result;

  result = std::atan(x);

  std::cout << result << " radians" << "\n";
}

This produces the following output:

0.0 radians
