These functions calculate the principal value of the arc tangent of x; that is the value whose tangent is x.
On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc tangent of x in radians; the return value is in the range [−pi/2, pi/2].
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +0 (−0), +0 (−0) is returned.
If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), +pi/2 (−pi/2) is returned.
No errors occur.
