Example
// Retrieve the arc tangent of 12
ResTang = ArcTan(12)
// Returns 85.2363583093
Syntax
<Result> = ArcTang(<Numeric value>)
<Result>: Real
Arc tangent (angle in degrees of the tangent) of the specified numerical value, within the interval [-90, 90] limits excluded.
<Numeric value>: Integer or real
Numeric value (tangent) to use.
Remarks

How do you find an angle using its tangent?

In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. How do I find the angle? Simply use ArcTan.
Example: The following code:
Trace("ArcTan(1) = " + ArcTan(1))
Trace("ArcTan(3/4) = " + ArcTan(3/4))
displayed in the trace window:
ArcTan(1) = 45
ArcTan(3/4) = 36.86989764584
