The atan2function in C language Calculates the arc tangent of two variables representing the quotient.

The atan2 function computes the principal value of the arc tangent of y/x, using the signs of both arguments to determine the quadrant of the return value. It is similar to calculating the arc tangent of y/x, but it has a wider range of validity and is more robust. This function returns a value in the range [-π, π].

The atan2function takes 2 parameters:

•
double `y`: The y-coordinate of a point in a 2D Cartesian coordinate system
•
double `x`: The x-coordinate of a point in a 2D Cartesian coordinate system

Computes the arc tangent (inverse tangent) of the quotient `y / x`, returning the angle in radians in the range [-π, π]. The signs of both arguments are used to determine the quadrant of the result.

The atan2 function return value :

Returns the arc tangent of y/x, in radians, in the range [-π, π]

Output

This example demonstrates the basic usage of the `atan2` function with points in all four quadrants.
