<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
<dd><p><code>ATAN2(Y, X)</code> computes the principal value of the argument
function of the complex number <em>X + i Y</em>. This function can
be used to transform from Cartesian into polar coordinates and
allows to determine the angle in the correct quadrant.

<dt><em>Arguments</em>:</dt>
<dd><table>
<tr><td width="15%"><var>Y</var></td><td width="70%">The type shall be <code>REAL</code>.</td></tr>
<tr><td width="15%"><var>X</var></td><td width="70%">The type and kind type parameter shall be the same as <var>Y</var>.
If <var>Y</var> is zero, then <var>X</var> must be nonzero.</td></tr>
</table>
</dd>
<dt><em>Return value</em>:</dt>
<dd><p>The return value has the same type and kind type parameter as <var>Y</var>. It
is the principal value of the complex number <em>X + i Y</em>. If <var>X</var>
is nonzero, then it lies in the range <em>-\pi \le \atan (x) \leq \pi</em>.
The sign is positive if <var>Y</var> is positive. If <var>Y</var> is zero, then
the return value is zero if <var>X</var> is strictly positive, <em>\pi</em> if
<var>X</var> is negative and <var>Y</var> is positive zero (or the processor does
not handle signed zeros), and <em>-\pi</em> if <var>X</var> is negative and
<var>Y</var> is negative zero. Finally, if <var>X</var> is zero, then the
magnitude of the result is <em>\pi/2</em>.
