-Arctangens of '''x''', result in degrees.

-'''Example:'''
+|s1= [[atan]]  x
-_angle = '''atan''' 1 ..........Result is 45
+|p1= x: [[Number]]
+|r1= [[Number]] - result is in degrees
-'''Notes:'''<br>
+|x1= <sqf>_degrees = atan 1; // 45</sqf>
-Using '''atan''' x is fine if you can be certain that x is a finite number.  For example:<br>
-_angle = '''atan''' 1/0<br>
+|seealso= [[atg]] [[atan2]]
-will create a divide by zero error, even though the angle is 90.<br>
-Better is to use [[atan2]]
