Math.Atan2(double,double) documentation incorrect for infinite values

[DoktorDemento]

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Outdated article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
