atan
atan(x)
Compute the inverse tangent of x, where the output is in radians
Examples
-
Compute the inverse tangent of a number:
julia> atan(0.5) 0.4636476090008061This example calculates the inverse tangent of 0.5, which is approximately 0.4636 radians.
-
Calculate inverse tangent for negative values:
julia> atan(-1) -0.7853981633974483It computes the inverse tangent of -1, which is approximately -0.7854 radians.
- Use atan in an expression:
julia> x = atan(1) + atan(2) 1.1071487177940904In this example, the
atanfunction is used within an expression to calculate the sum of the inverse tangent of 1 and the inverse tangent of 2.
Common mistake example:
julia> atan("abc")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching atan(::String)In this example, the atan function is applied to a string, which is not a valid argument. Make sure to provide a numeric value as the argument to atan to avoid such errors.
