ATAN()
Computes the tangent arc
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ATAN(<nTangent>) --> nArcTan
Argument
<nTangent> Designates the angle tangent value for which you want
the response determined in radians.
Returns
ATAN() returns the tangent arc for <nTangent>.
Description
ATAN() determines an angle size in radians for a tangent value.
Note
. The SETPREC() function can influence the precision of the
result.
Example
Compute the arc of the tangent :
? STR(ATAN(PI()/4), 18, 15) // 0.665773750028354
