catan, catanf, catanl

Retrieves the arctangent of a complex number with branch cuts outside the interval [-1; +1] along the imaginary axis.

Syntax

_Dcomplex catan( _Dcomplex z );
_Fcomplex catanf( _Fcomplex z );
_Lcomplex catanl( _Lcomplex z );

_Fcomplex catan( _Fcomplex z );  // C++ only
_Lcomplex catan( _Lcomplex z );  // C++ only

Parameters

z
A complex number that represents an angle, in radians.

Return value

The arctangent of z, in radians. The result is unbounded along the imaginary axis, and in the interval [-π/2; +π/2] along the real axis.

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of catan that take and return _Fcomplex and _Lcomplex values. In a C program, catan always takes and returns a _Dcomplex value.

Requirements

Routine	C header	C++ header
catan, catanf, catanl	<complex.h>	<ccomplex>
