There is no guarantee that long double is different from double, nor that double is different from float. You should be able to see the limits of each type by looking at <float.h>.

Hmmm...according to this fibonacci calculator, fib(10000) is an integer with 2090 digits. Your floating point unit is going to need a rather large mantissa. Good thing you went with long double.

atan2(3M)						  Mathematical Library Functions						 atan2(3M)

NAME
atan2, atan2f, atan2l - arc tangent function SYNOPSIS
c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double atan2(double y, double x); float atan2f(float y, float x); long double atan2l(long double y, long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the principal value of the arc tangent of y/x, using the signs of both arguments to determine the quadrant of the return value. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return the arc tangent of y/x in the range [ -pi,pi ] radians. If y is +-0 and x is < 0, +-pi is returned. If y is +-0 and x is > 0, +-0 is returned. If y is < 0 and x is +-0, -pi/2 is returned. If y is > 0 and x is +-0, pi/2 is returned. If x is 0, a pole error does not occur. If either x or y is NaN, a NaN is returned. If y is +-0 and x is -0, +-pi is returned. If y is +-0 and x is +0, +-0 is returned. For finite values of +-y > 0, if x is -Inf, +-pi is returned. For finite values of +-y > 0, if x is +Inf, +-0 is returned. For finite values of x, if y is +-Inf, +-pi/2 is returned. If y is +-Inf and x is -Inf, +-3pi/4 is returned. If y is +-Inf and x is +Inf, +-pi/4 is returned. If both arguments are 0, a domain error does not occur. ERRORS
No errors are defined. ATTRIBUTES
