Example: atan() function

The following example shows the usage of atan() function.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(void)
{
    double a,c;
     c = 0.45;
     a = atan(c);
     
    printf("atan( %lf ) = %lf", c, a);
    c = 0;
    a = atan(c);
     
    printf("\natan( %lf ) = %lf", c, a);

    c = 1;
    a = atan(c);
     
    printf("\natan( %lf ) = %lf", c, a);
}

Output:

atan( 0.450000 ) = 0.422854
atan( 0.000000 ) = 0.000000
atan( 1.000000 ) = 0.785398
