- AATTAANN, DDAATTAANN, and QQAATTAANN return the arc tangent in radians. AATTAANNDD,
- DDAATTAANNDD, and QQAATTAANNDD return the arc tangent in degrees.
-
- AATTAANN and AATTAANNDD are generic function names; the others are specifics.
- These are elemental intrinsic functions. They accept the following
- argument:
-
- _x Must be type real. The type and kind type of _x is identical
- to the type and kind type of the return value. See the
- RETURN VALUES section for information on input data types
- and return values.
-
- The data type and kind type for single-precision,
- double-precision, and quad-precision values differ depending
- on your platform. For platform-specific information, see
- the TERMINOLOGY section of the IINNTTRROO__IINNTTRRIINN(3I) man page.
-
- These functions evaluate _y = aarrccttaann((_x)).
-
- The result range for AATTAANN, DDAATTAANN, and QQAATTAANN is as follows:
-
- -pi/2 <= AATTAANN((_x)) <= pi/2
-
- The result range for AATTAANNDD, DDAATTAANNDD, and QQAATTAANNDD is as follows:
-
- -90 <= _r_e_s_u_l_t <= 90
-
- Vector versions of these intrinsics exist on some systems. Vector
- versions of AATTAANN and DDAATTAANN exist on UNICOS and UNICOS/mk systems. On
- UNICOS/mk systems, the vector versions of these intrinsics are used
- when --OO vveeccttoorr33 or --OO33 have been specified on the compiler command
- line. On UNICOS/mk systems, the 64-bit intrinsic vectorizes; the
- 32-bit version does not. A vector version of the single-precision and
- double-precision AATTAANN intrinsic exists on IRIX systems and is used
- when --OO33 is specified on the compiler command line.
-
- NNOOTTEESS
- The AATTAANN and DDAATTAANN intrinsic function names can be passed as
- arguments; the others cannot.
-
- On CRAY T90 systems that support IEEE arithmetic, the following return
- values occur:
-
- AATTAANN((NaN)) = NaN
-
- AATTAANN((infinity)) = pi/2
-
- AATTAANN((-infinity)) = -pi/2
-
- RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
- AATTAANN and AATTAANNDD return the real arc tangent of their real arguments.
-
- DDAATTAANN and DDAATTAANNDD return the double-precision arc tangent of their
- double-precision arguments.
-
- QQAATTAANN and QQAATTAANNDD return the quad-precision arc tangent of their
- quad-precision arguments.
