1-3) Computes the complex arc tangent of z with branch cuts outside the interval [−i,+i] along the imaginary axis.

4) Type-generic macro: If z has type long double complex, catanl is called. if z has type double complex, catan is called, if z has type float complex, catanf is called. If z is real or integer, then the macro invokes the corresponding real function (atanf, atan, atanl). If z is imaginary, then the macro invokes the corresponding real version of the function atanh, implementing the formula atan(iy) = i atanh(y), and the return type of the macro is imaginary.

Parameters

z

-

complex argument

Return value

If no errors occur, complex arc tangent of z is returned, in the range of a strip unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [−π/2; +π/2] along the real axis.

Errors and special cases are handled as if the operation is implemented by -I * catanh(I*z).

Notes

Inverse tangent (or arc tangent) is a multivalued function and requires a branch cut on the complex plane. The branch cut is conventionally placed at the line segments (-∞i,-i) and (+i,+∞i) of the imaginary axis.

The mathematical definition of the principal value of inverse tangent is atan z = -

i [ln(1 - iz) - ln (1 + iz]

Example

Run this code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <float.h>
#include <complex.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    double complex z = catan(2*I);
    printf("catan(+0+2i) = %f%+fi\n", creal(z), cimag(z));
 
    double complex z2 = catan(-conj(2*I)); // or CMPLX(-0.0, 2)
    printf("catan(-0+2i) (the other side of the cut) = %f%+fi\n", creal(z2), cimag(z2));
 
    double complex z3 = 2*catan(2*I*DBL_MAX); // or CMPLX(0, INFINITY)
    printf("2*catan(+0+i*Inf) = %f%+fi\n", creal(z3), cimag(z3));
}

Output:

catan(+0+2i) = 1.570796+0.549306i
catan(-0+2i) (the other side of the cut) = -1.570796+0.549306i
2*catan(+0+i*Inf) = 3.141593+0.000000i
