Scala - Math atan() Method

The Scala Math atan() method returns arc tangent of a value. The returned value will be in the range -𝜋/2 through 𝜋/2. In special cases it returns the following:

If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.

Note: atan() is the inverse of tan().

Syntax

def atan(x: Double): Double = scala.lang.Math.atan(x)

Parameters

`x`	Specify the value.

Return Value

Returns the arc tangent of the value.

Exception

NA.

Example:

In the example below, atan() method is used to find out the arc tangent of a given value.

import scala.math._

object MainObject {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    println(s"atan(-1) = ${atan(-1)}");   
    println(s"atan(0.5) = ${atan(0.5)}"); 
    println(s"atan(0) = ${atan(0)}"); 
    println(s"atan(0.5) = ${atan(0.5)}");
    println(s"atan(1) = ${atan(1)}");
    println(s"atan(Double.NaN) = ${atan(Double.NaN)}"); 
    println(s"atan(2) = ${atan(2)}");
    println("atan(Double.PositiveInfinity) = "
            + atan(Double.PositiveInfinity));
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

atan(-1) = -0.7853981633974483
atan(0.5) = 0.4636476090008061
atan(0) = 0.0
atan(0.5) = 0.4636476090008061
atan(1) = 0.7853981633974483
atan(Double.NaN) = NaN
atan(2) = 1.1071487177940904
atan(Double.PositiveInfinity) = 1.5707963267948966
