function ArcTan (x: Real): Real;or
function ArcTan (z: Complex): Complex;
ArcTan
returns the (principal value of the) arcus tangent of the
argument. The result is in the range -Pi / 2 < ArcTan (x) < Pi / 2
for real arguments.
The function ArcTan
is defined in ISO 7185 Pascal;
its application to complex values is defined in ISO 10206 Extended Pascal.
