<h2>Syntax</h2>
<p><div class="box">
<dl>
<dt>(<b>atan</b> <i>expr</i> [<i>expr2</i>])</dt>
<dd><i>expr</i> - an integer or floating point expression<br>
<i>expr2</i> - an optional divisor [default value <nobr>is 1.0]</nobr><br>
returns - the arctangent of the division of <i>expr</i> and <i>expr2</i></dd>
</dl>
</div></p>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The 'atan' function returns the arc tangent of the division of 'expr' and
'expr2'. <nobr>The result</nobr> is in radians.</p>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<pre class="example">
(atan  0.0)  =>  0
(atan  1.0)  =>  0.785398
(atan -1.0)  => -0.785398
(atan    0)  =>  0
