catan(3)


NAME

   catan, catanf, catanl - complex arc tangents

SYNOPSIS

   #include <complex.h>

   double complex catan(double complex z);
   float complex catanf(float complex z);
   long double complex catanl(long double complex z);

   Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION

   These   functions   calculate   the  complex  arc  tangent  of  z.   If
   y = catan(z), then z = ctan(y).  The real part of y is  chosen  in  the
   interval [-pi/2,pi/2].

   One has:

       catan(z) = (clog(1 + i * z) - clog(1 - i * z)) / (2 * i)

VERSIONS

   These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

           exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
       }

       z = atof(argv[1]) + atof(argv[2]) * I;

       c = catan(z);
       printf("catan() = %6.3f %6.3f*i\n", creal(c), cimag(c));

       f = (clog(1 + i * z) - clog(1 - i * z)) / (2 * i);
       printf("formula = %6.3f %6.3f*i\n", creal(f2), cimag(f2));

       exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
