Syntax of Atan() in Go Language

The syntax of Atan() function is:

func Atan(x float64) float64

Note: float64 is a data type in go language which has IEEE-754 64-bit floating-point numbers.
Special cases are:
Atan(±0) = ±0
Atan(±Inf) = ±Pi/2

 

Parameters of Atan() Function in Go Language

x Any Valid GoLang number ( positive or negative ). This parameter is required.
Note: if the x parameter is not a number, Atan() function will return an error.

 

Atan() Return Value

Atan() function returns a floating point number ( a value of the inverse of tan in radians ).
