Python3 digital Python3 digital


description

atan2 () Returns the arctangent of X and Y coordinate values.


grammar

The following is the syntax atan2 () method:

import math

math.atan2(y, x)

Note: atan2 () is not directly accessible, you need to import math module, and then call the method by math static objects.


parameter

  • x - a value.
  • y - a value.

return value

Returns the arctangent of X and Y coordinate values.


Examples

The following shows an example of the use of atan2 () method:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import math

print ("atan2(-0.50,-0.50) : ",  math.atan2(-0.50,-0.50))
print ("atan2(0.50,0.50) : ",  math.atan2(0.50,0.50))
print ("atan2(5,5) : ",  math.atan2(5,5))
print ("atan2(-10,10) : ",  math.atan2(-10,10))
print ("atan2(10,20) : ",  math.atan2(10,20))

After running the above example output is:

atan2(-0.50,-0.50) :  -2.356194490192345
atan2(0.50,0.50) :  0.7853981633974483
atan2(5,5) :  0.7853981633974483
atan2(-10,10) :  -0.7853981633974483
atan2(10,20) :  0.4636476090008061
