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

  102. <dd><p>The return value has the same type and kind type parameter as <var>Y</var>. It
  103. is the principal value of the complex number <em>X + i Y</em>. If <var>X</var>
  104. is nonzero, then it lies in the range <em>-\pi \le \atan (x) \leq \pi</em>.
  105. The sign is positive if <var>Y</var> is positive. If <var>Y</var> is zero, then
  106. the return value is zero if <var>X</var> is strictly positive, <em>\pi</em> if
  107. <var>X</var> is negative and <var>Y</var> is positive zero (or the processor does
  108. not handle signed zeros), and <em>-\pi</em> if <var>X</var> is negative and
