Parameter Data Type Description
value Float the value to take the arctan of
Return Float atan(value)

Detailed Description

The atan() function returns the arctan of the supplied value in radians. If you want to return an angle in degrees you can use toDegrees(atan(value))

Examples

Example Result Notes
