VB.NET Atan2 Example – Code Sample Syntax

VB.NET Atan2 Example – Code Sample Syntax

Purpose: – Illustrates using .

Purpose:
takes 2 double data type numbers and returns a double value
containing the angle (measured in radians) whose tangent is the
quotient of two specified numbers (you can convert
the radians to degrees by multiplying them by Math.PI/180)

Syntax:
Atan2(y as double, x as double)

Parameters Description
y double – y is the y coordinate of a point
x double – x is the x coordinate of a point

Result Data Type Description
double the angle measured in radians. (you can
convert the radians to degrees by multiplying
them by Math.PI/180)

Prerequistes:

  1. Install Visual Basic (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.vb
