# std::atan2(std::valarray)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | valarray

Defined in header `<valarray>` |  |
template< class T > valarray<T> atan2( const valarray<T>& y, const valarray<T>& x ); | (1) |
template< class T > valarray<T> atan2( const valarray<T>& y, const T& vx ); | (2) |
template< class T > valarray<T> atan2( const T& vy, const valarray<T>& x ); | (3) |

Computes the inverse tangent of `y/x` using the signs of arguments to correctly determine quadrant.

1) Computes the inverse tangent of each pair of corresponding values from `y` and `x`.

The behavior is undefined if x.size() != y.size().

2) Computes the inverse tangent of `vx` and each value in the numeric array `y`.
3) Computes the inverse tangent of `vy` and each value in the numeric array `x`.

### [edit] Parameters

x, y | - | numeric arrays to compute inverse tangent of
vy, vx | - | values to compute inverse tangent of

### [edit] Return value

A numeric array containing the results of computation of inverse tangent.

### [edit] Notes

Unqualified function (atan2) is used to perform the computation. If such function is not available, std::atan2 is used due to argument dependent lookup.

The function can be implemented with the return type different from std::valarray. In this case, the replacement type has the following properties:

  - All const member functions of std::valarray are provided.
  - std::valarray, std::slice_array, std::gslice_array, std::mask_array and std::indirect_array can be constructed from the replacement type.
  - All functions accepting a arguments of type const std::valarray& should also accept the replacement type.
  - All functions accepting two arguments of type const std::valarray& should accept every combination of const std::valarray& and the replacement type.
  - The return type does not add more than two levels of template nesting over the most deeply-nested argument type.
