static double Atan(double d);
public static double Atan(double d);
static member Atan : double -> double
Public Shared Function Atan (d As Double) As Double
Parameters
A number representing a tangent.
ReturnsAn angle, θ, measured in radians, such that -Ï/2 ⤠θ ⤠Ï/2.
-or-
NaN if d
equals NaN, -Ï/2 rounded to double precision (-1.5707963267949) if d
equals NegativeInfinity, or Ï/2 rounded to double precision (1.5707963267949) if d
equals PositiveInfinity.

Remarks
A positive return value represents a counterclockwise angle from the x-axis; a negative return value represents a clockwise angle.
Multiply the return value by 180/Math.PI to convert from radians to degrees.
This method calls into the underlying C runtime, and the exact result or valid input range may differ between different operating systems or architectures.
