Syntax:

double atan2(double y, double x)

The atan2() function is used to calculate the arctangent of y/x.

Parameters:

Return value from atan2()

• Returns a value in the range -π to π radians.
• Returns a value of 0 if both arguments of the atan2() function are zero.

Example: atan2() function

The following example shows the usage of atan2() function.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h> 
int main(void)
{
    double x, y, z;
    x = 0.45;
    y = 0.23;
    z = atan2(x,y);    
    printf("atan2( %lf, %lf ) = %lf", x, y, z); 
}

Output:

atan2( 0.450000, 0.230000 ) = 1.098299
