ATAND
Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Produces the arctangent of x in degrees.
It can take one of the following forms:
result = ATAND (x)
-or-
result = ATAND (y, x)
y  |  
      (Input; optional) If specified, it must be of type real and have the same KIND parameter as x.  |  
     
x  |  
      (Input) Must be of type real. If y appears and has the value 0.0, x must not have the value 0.0.  |  
     
Results
If y appears, the result is the same as the result of ATAN2D (y, x). Otherwise, the result type and kind are the same as x and are expressed in degrees between ±90°.
There are no specific names for the two argument form of this function.
