OSS Library Calls (a - d) atanf(3)
NAME
atanf - Computes the inverse trigonometric tangent function for a float value
LIBRARY
H-series and J-series native Guardian processes: $SYSTEM.ZDLLnnn.ZCREDLL
32-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/zcredll
64-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/ycredll
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
float atanf(
float x);
PARAMETERS
x Is the float value for which the inverse trigonometric tangent function is to be
computed.
DESCRIPTION
The atanf( ) function is a float version of the atan( ) function; it takes a float argument and
returns a float result.
The atanf( ) function computes the principal value of the arc tangent of x, in the domain
[-π/2, π/2] radians.
NOTES
This function supports both IEEE Std 754-1985 floating-point and Tandem floating-point values
in the native environment. IEEE values can include NaN and infinity, and the sign of 0.0 (zero)
can be either positive or negative. Refer to the fp_class(3) reference page for a description of
IEEE value classes.
Guardian functions are available to convert between floating-point formats. Refer to the Guar-
dian Programmer’s Guide for a discussion of floating-point conversions.
RETURN VALUES
The atanf( ) function returns the principal value of the arc tangent of x.
For IEEE floating-point values, if the value of x is NaN, the atanf( ) function returns NaN.
If the result would underflow, the atanf( ) function returns 0.0 (zero).
ERRORS
The atanf( ) function does not set errno.
