Readme
atan2
Compute the angle in the plane (in radians) between the positive x-axis and the ray from
(0,0)
to the point(x,y)
.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-atan2
Usage
var atan2 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-atan2' );
atan2( y, x )
Computes the angle in the plane (in radians) between the positive x-axis and the ray from (0,0)
to the point (x,y)
.
var v = atan2( 2.0, 2.0 ); // => atan(1.0)
// returns ~0.785
v = atan2( 6.0, 2.0 ); // => atan(3.0)
// returns ~1.249
v = atan2( -1.0, -1.0 ); // => atan(1.0) - π
// returns ~-2.356
v = atan2( 3.0, 0.0 ); // => π/2
// returns ~1.571
v = atan2( -2.0, 0.0 ); // => -π/2
// returns ~-1.571
v = atan2( 0.0, 0.0 );
// returns 0.0
v = atan2( 3.0, NaN );
// returns NaN
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var atan2 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-atan2' );
var y;
var x;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
y = randu() * 100.0;
x = randu() * 100.0;
console.log( 'y: %d, \t x: %d, \t atan2(y,x): %d', y.toFixed( 4 ), x.toFixed( 4 ), atan2( y, x ).toFixed( 4 ) );
}
