Description

The ATAN() function returns the angle size, in radians, of a tangent value. The tangent value is represented by the numeric expression <expN>. The angle size is returned as a numeric in radians. The SET DECIMALS command determines the number of decimals displayed in the returned angle size.


Example

set decimals to 4
?atan(.7071)
    0.6155
