Hints

Most mathematical operations in Just BASIC can be performed on Literal Numbers, Numeric Variables, or Numeric Expressions that consist of Literal Numbers, Numeric Variables, or both.

There are 2 * pi radians in a full circle of 360 degrees. A formula to convert degrees to radians is: radians = degrees divided by 57.29577951.

Some helpful functions to convert between radians and degrees are available at the ACS() function and ASN() function pages.

Example

Print ATN(1)
Print ATN(0.5)
Print ATN(-0.2)
Print ATN(-1/2)
