Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
num |
Number to be processed. |
|
precis |
Numeric precision, an integer in the range of 1 to 16 (default is 6). This represents the number of decimal places desired in the result. Because PRO/5 uses 16-digit decimal arithmetic, it could be difficult to compute a 16-digit precision ATN(). Because this is not required by most applications, an alternate precision may be much more efficient. |
|
ERR=lineref |
Branch to be taken if an error occurs during execution. |
Examples
1000 LET A=ATN(3.14159)
2000 LET A=ATN(B,16); REM - MAXIMUM PRECISION
