Inverse of Tan in python (tan-1)

Question

I am trying to calculate the inverse of tan in python, but it does not give me the correct value, for example, if I were to do the inverse tan of 1.18, math.atan(1.18)

Answer 1

math.atan(x) returned in radian, if you want degree, convert it using math.degrees(x)

Converts angle x from radians to degrees.

>>> import math
>>> math.degrees(math.atan(1.18))
