ATAN2PI
Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Produces an arctangent in half revolutions. The result is the principal value of the argument of the nonzero complex number (x, y).
result = ATAN2PI (y,x)
y |
(Input) Must be of type real. |
x |
(Input) Must have the same type and kind parameters as y. If y has the value zero, x cannot have the value zero. |
Results
The result type and kind are the same as x and are expressed in half revolutions. The value lies in the range -1.0 <= ATAN2PI (y, x) <= 1.0 . The value of the result is approximately equal to ATAN2 (y, x) divided by π (pi).
There are no specific names for this function.
Example
ATAN2PI (1.0, 1.0) has the approximate value 0.25.
