atan (Matlab function)
Two-quadrant inverse tangent
Particular cases
When the input x is imaginary and abs(x)>=1,
the real part of the result differs from Scilab vs Matlab or Octave:
| Scilab | Octave | Matlab | |
|---|---|---|---|
| atan(-2i) | -π/2 - B.i | -π/2 - B.i | π/2 - B.i |
| atan(-i) | Nan - Inf | 0 - Inf | 0 - Inf |
| atan(i) | Nan + Inf | 0 + Inf | 0 + Inf |
| atan(2i) | π/2 + B.i | π/2 + B.i | -π/2 + B.i |
