ATN2 (Function)


Obtains the arc tangent of expression 1 divided by expression 2.


ATN2 (<Expression1>, <Expression2>)


This statement obtains the arc tangent value of <Expression1> divided by <Expression2>.
The unit of the obtained value is degrees and its range is from -180 to 180.
If <Expression> includes a double precision real numeral, the obtained value becomes double precision. Otherwise, a single precision value is obtained.
The following is a value range of ATN2.
