9.24 ATAND — Arctangent function, degrees

Description:

ATAND(X) computes the arctangent of X in degrees (inverse of TAND).

This function is for compatibility only and should be avoided in favor of standard constructs wherever possible.

Standard:

GNU extension, enabled with -fdec-math.

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:
RESULT = ATAND(X)
RESULT = ATAND(Y, X)
Arguments:
X The type shall be REAL or COMPLEX; if Y is present, X shall be REAL.
Y The type and kind type parameter shall be the same as X.
Return value:

The return value is of the same type and kind as X. If Y is present, the result is identical to ATAND2(Y,X). Otherwise, it is the arcus tangent of X, where the real part of the result is in degrees and lies in the range -90 \leq \Re \atand(x) \leq 90.

Example:
program test_atand
  real(8) :: x = 2.866_8
  x = atand(x)
end program test_atand
Specific names:
Name Argument Return type Standard
ATAND(X) REAL(4) X REAL(4) GNU extension
DATAND(X) REAL(8) X REAL(8) GNU extension
