ARCTANGENT2

THE BOX'S MAIN HELP:
This function returns a float between [-PI,PI].
The sign of the inputs determines in which quadrant the result will be.
Arctangent is the inverse of the tangent function.
atan2(w,x) = y/z if and only if tan(y/z) = w/x.

A (input):
This may be any real number. 
The sign of the inputs determines in which quadrant the result will be.

B (input):
This may be any real number. This is the longitudinal angle.
The sign of the inputs determines in which quadrant the result will be.

OUT (output):
This function returns a float between [-PI,PI].
The sign of the inputs determines in which quadrant the result will be.
Arctangent is the inverse of the tangent function.
atan2(w,x) = y/z if and only if tan(y/z) = w/x.
