3.12. __nv_atan2f

Prototype: 

float @__nv_atan2f(float %x, float %y)

Description:

Calculate the principal value of the arc tangent of the ratio of first and second input arguments x / y. The quadrant of the result is determined by the signs of inputs x and y.

Returns:

Result will be in radians, in the interval [- π /, + π ].

  • __nv_atan2f(0, 1) returns +0.
