Horizontal component of the ratio.

Return Value

The angle whose tangent is y/x, in radians, in the range [-Pi..Pi].

Description

ATan2 returns the arctangent of the ratio y/x as a Double within the range of -Pi to Pi. The arctangent is the inverse of the Tan function. The returned angle is measured in radians (not degrees).

Example

Print Atan2 ( 4, 5 )     'this is the same as PRINT ATN ( 4 / 5 )
