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

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>
