Math.Atan2(double,double) documentation incorrect for infinite values #12041
Description
Type of issue
Outdated article
Description
The documentation for .NET 9.0 is the same as the documentation for .NET Framework 4.8.1. In particular, the lines:
If x or y is NaN, or if x and y are either PositiveInfinity or NegativeInfinity, the method returns NaN.
This is correct for .NET Framework 4.8.1, but infinite values do not return double.NaN in .NET 9.0 at least:
| y | x | .NET Framework 4.8.1 | .NET 9.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| double.NegativeInfinity | double.NegativeInfinity | double.NaN | - 3π / 4 |
| double.NegativeInfinity | double.PositiveInfinity | double.NaN | - π / 4 |
| double.PositiveInfinity | double.NegativeInfinity | double.NaN | 3π / 4 |
| double.PositiveInfinity | double.PositiveInfinity | double.NaN | π / 4 |
