CTAN (or CTAN') 

CTAN calculates the tangent of a complex number.

Declaration 

Complex numbers in HP FORTRAN 77/XL programs are represented as an
ordered pair of real numbers:  one for the real part a and one for the
imaginary part b.  Thus, complex numbers occupy eight bytes.

         TYPE complex=RECORD
                       realpart:REAL;
                       imagpart:REAL;
                      END;

        FUNCTION CTAN(VAR x:complex):complex; EXTERNAL;

Accuracy 

Depends on the accuracy of SIN, COS, SINH, and COSH.

Attributes 

Parameter:                A complex number.

Result:                   A complex number.

HP FORTRAN 77/XL:         Intrinsic function:  Y=CTAN(X).

Error:                    See SIN, COS, SINH, and COSH error
                          descriptions.
