< mirc‎ | identifiers

$atan2 returns the arctangent of the 2 short sides of a right triangle.

Synopsis[edit]

$atan2(<O>,<A>)[.deg]

Parameters[edit]

OThe length of the Opposite side of the right triangle.
AThe length of the Adjacent side of the right triangle.

Properties[edit]

.degReturns the angle as degrees, default is radians.

Example[edit]

//var %opposite 3, %adjacent 4 | echo -a In right triangle where opposite side is length %opposite and adjacent side is length %adjacent - angle is $atan2( %opposite , %adjacent ).deg degrees
; Returns: In right triangle where opposite side is length 3 and adjacent side is length 4 - angle is 36.869898 degrees
//var %opposite 4 | var %adjacent 3 | echo -a except for rounding $atan2(%opposite,%adjacent).deg is the same as $atan( $calc( %opposite / %adjacent ) ).deg
; ATAN2 accepts the side lengths while ATAN accepts the tangent ratio of those sides
