Atan2 loses the sign of its branch-cut zero · case 04
Atan2 loses the sign of its branch-cut zero.
Case contract
Evaluate atan2(y,x) including signed zero and infinite directions; NaN produces nan. Finite nonzero coordinates use ratio of smaller magnitude and quadrant reconstruction. Finite results are rendered to eleven significant decimal digits; modeled domain violations and arithmetic errors are explicit strings.
Why this case matters
An offline floating representation model isolates a reproducible arithmetic fault.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| negative zero axis | "0" | "-0" | Failed |
