ATANR()
To return the ARCTANGENT in radians of a tangent value.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ATANR( <nTan> ) -> nRadian
Arguments
<nTan> is a numeric value representing a tangent value.
NOTE: Since a parameter of greater than 1 result in a math overflow,
this function returns 0 as a result instead of a math overflow.
Returns
ATANR() returns the arctangent value (reverse tangent) in radians of
<nTan>.
Description
ATANR() is a trigonometrical function that returns the arctangent value
in radians of a tangent value.
For degrees, see ATAN().
Accuracy is to the twelfth decimal (i.e. .00000000001)
Examples
? Str( ATANR(.707106781), 8, 6) // returns 0.615480
? Str( ATANR(.866025403), 8, 6) // returns 0.713724
