atn2()

The Mathematical Function atn2() returns the arc tangent angle in radian measure for the value of the parameter "number" .

Syntax of the Mathematical Function atn2()

    atn2(sin_number, cos_number)
    

The parameter "number" of the Mathematical Function atn2()

sin_number and cos_number
The parameters "sin_number" and "cos_number" are placeholders for column names, variables or constants, which have to be available as float, real, double precision datatypes. Additionally, the parameters "sin_number" and "cos_number" recognise any other datatype which can be converted with implicit conversion into any of the required datatypes.

Example for the Mathematical Function atn2()

    select atn2(0.50, 0.48)
go
-----
0.805803

Returns the arc tangent in radian measure for the ratio between sine and cosine.

    select degrees(atn2(0.785398, 0.785398))
go
-----
45.000000

Returns the arc tangent for the ratio between sine and cosine.
