<h3 class="section">2.7 <code>catan</code>, <code>catanf</code>&mdash;complex arc tangent</h3>
<p><a name="index-catan-166"></a><a name="index-catanf-167"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;complex.h&gt;
double complex catan(double complex <var>z</var>);
float complex catanf(float complex <var>z</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
These functions compute the complex arc tangent of <var>z</var>,
with branch cuts outside the interval [-i, +i] along the
imaginary axis.
<p><code>catanf</code> is identical to <code>catan</code>, except that it performs
its calculations on <code>floats complex</code>.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
These functions return the complex arc tangent value, in the range
of a strip mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis
and in the interval [-pi/2, +pi/2] along the real axis.
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
<code>catan</code> and <code>catanf</code> are ISO C99
<p><br>
