Summary
Function: float llAtan2( float y, float x );| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns a float that is the 
arctangent2 of y, x.
| • float | y | |||
| • float | x |
Similar to the arctangent(y/x) except it utilizes the signs of x & y to determine the quadrant and avoids division by zero.
If x is zero and...
- y is zero, zero is returned.
- y is positive, PI/2 is returned.
- y is negative, -PI/2 is returned.
Or ((y > 0) - (y < 0)) * PI_BY_TWO.
The returned value is in the range [-PI, PI][1].
Examples
<lsl>default {
state_entry()
{
float num1 = llFrand(100.0);
float num2 = llFrand(100.0);
llOwnerSay("y = " + (string)num1);
llOwnerSay("x = " + (string)num2);
llOwnerSay("The arctangent of y divided by x is " + (string)llAtan2(num1, num2));
}
