Summary
The f64::atan2
function documentation specifies that the output could be in the range (-PI, PI]
. However its not true. It could return -PI
as well.
Following is from the function documentation:
/// * `x = 0`, `y = 0`: `0` /// * `x >= 0`: `arctan(y/x)` -> `[-pi/2, pi/2]` /// * `y >= 0`: `arctan(y/x) + pi` -> `(pi/2, pi]` /// * `y < 0`: `arctan(y/x) - pi` -> `(-pi, -pi/2)`
Example case:
f64::atan2(-0.0, -1.0)
returns -f64::PI
