Compute the arctangent of a number.
```kcl
atan(@num: number(_)): number(rad)
```
Consider using `atan2()` instead for the true inverse of tangent.
### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
| `num` | [`number(_)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | A number | Yes |
### Returns
[`number(rad)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) - A number
### Examples
```kcl
sketch001 = startSketchOn(XZ)
|> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
|> angledLine(
angle = atan(1.25),
length = 20,
)
|> yLine(endAbsolute = 0)
|> close()
extrude001 = extrude(sketch001, length = 5)
```
