Submitted by IncludeHelp, on April 28, 2019

C++ atan() function

atan() function is a library function of cmath header, it is used to find the principal value of the arc tangent of the given number, it accepts a number (x) and returns the principal value of the arc tangent of x in radians.

Syntax

Syntax of atan() function:

atan(x);

Parameter(s)

x – is the value whose arc tangent to be calculated.

Return value

double – it returns double type value that is the principal value of the arc tangent of the given number x.

Sample Input and Output

Input:
float x = 0.65;
    
Function call:
atan(x);    
    
Output:
0.576375

Example

// C++ code to demonstrate the example of 
// atan() function

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

// main() section
int main()
{
    float x;
    
    x = -1.0;
    cout<<"atan("<<x<<"): "<<atan(x)<<endl;

    x = -0.89;
    cout<<"atan("<<x<<"): "<<atan(x)<<endl;    

    x = 0.65;
    cout<<"atan("<<x<<"): "<<atan(x)<<endl;    

    x = 1;
    cout<<"atan("<<x<<"): "<<atan(x)<<endl;        
    
    return 0;
}

Output

atan(-1): -0.785398
atan(-0.89): -0.727263
atan(0.65): 0.576375
atan(1): 0.785398
