12/* atan(x)
13 * Method
14 *   1. Reduce x to positive by atan(x) = -atan(-x).
15 *   2. According to the integer k=4t+0.25 chopped, t=x, the argument
16 *      is further reduced to one of the following intervals and the
17 *      arctangent of t is evaluated by the corresponding formula:
18 *
19 *      [0,7/16]      atan(x) = t-t^3*(a1+t^2*(a2+...(a10+t^2*a11)...)
20 *      [7/16,11/16]  atan(x) = atan(1/2) + atan( (t-0.5)/(1+t/2) )
21 *      [11/16.19/16] atan(x) = atan( 1 ) + atan( (t-1)/(1+t) )
22 *      [19/16,39/16] atan(x) = atan(3/2) + atan( (t-1.5)/(1+1.5t) )
23 *      [39/16,INF]   atan(x) = atan(INF) + atan( -1/t )

61/// Computes the arctangent of `x` (`atan(x)`).
62///
63/// Returns the principal value in the range `[-π/2, π/2]` radians.
64///
65/// ## Special cases
66///
67/// - `atan(NaN)` returns `NaN`
68/// - `atan(±0)` returns `±0` (preserving the sign of zero)
69/// - `atan(±∞)` returns `±π/2`
70///
71/// ## Implementation notes
72///
73/// This is a `const fn`-compatible port of the FreeBSD `libm` implementation
74/// (`s_atan.c`). The algorithm reduces the argument based on the magnitude
75/// of `|x|` and evaluates it using either a polynomial approximation or
76/// an addition formula with precomputed constants (`ATANHI`/`ATANLO`).
77///
78/// Modifications for this crate:
79/// - Adapted to the generic `Real` type (which is `f64` under the hood)
80/// - Made fully `const fn` compatible
81/// - Removed `force_eval!` (subnormal underflow side-effect, not relevant in const context)
82/// - Replaced the `i!` macro with direct array indexing
83/// - Used the `.abs()` method instead of the `fabs` helper
84///
85/// ## Testing
86///
87/// This function is tested directly with:
88/// - Sanity checks for standard angles (π/6, π/4, π/3 and their negatives)
89/// - Special values: zero, ±infinity, NaN
90///
91/// It is also exercised by the full `atan2` test suite (which calls `atan` internally).
92/// All tests pass and produce results matching the original libm implementation.
