JavaScript Math atan() Method - GeeksforGeeks

JavaScript Math atan() Method

Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2024

Javascript Math.atan( ) method is used to return the arctangent of a number in radians. The Math.atan() method returns a numeric value between -pi/2 and pi/2 radians. The atan() is a static method of Math, therefore, it is always used as Math.atan(), rather than as a method of a Math object created.

Math.atan(x)=arctan(x)=unique y where y belongs to [-pi/2;pi/2] such that tan(y)=x
Syntax: 
Math.atan(value)
Parameters:

This function accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:

Return Value:

The Math.atan() function returns the arctangent of the given number in radians. The below examples illustrate the Math atan( ) method in JavaScript

Example 1: This example returns the atan value when 1 is passed as a parameter.

javascript 
console.log("When 1 is passed as a parameter: "
    + Math.atan(1));

Output 
When 1 is passed as a parameter: 0.7853981633974483

Example 2: This example returns the atan value when 0 is passed as a parameter.

javascript 
console.log("When 0 is passed as a parameter: "
    + Math.atan(0));

Output 
When 0 is passed as a parameter: 0

Example 3: This example returns the atan value when -0 is passed as a parameter.

javascript 
console.log("When -0 is passed as a parameter: "
    + Math.atan(-0));

Output 
When -0 is passed as a parameter: 0

Example 4: This example returns the atan value when infinity is passed as a parameter.

javascript 
console.log("When Infinity is passed as a parameter: "
    + Math.atan(Infinity));

Output 
When Infinity is passed as a parameter: 1.5707963267948966

Example 5: This example returns the atan value when -infinity is passed as a parameter.

javascript 
console.log("When -Infinity is passed as a parameter: "
    + Math.atan(-Infinity));

Output 
When -Infinity is passed as a parameter: -1.5707963267948966
