NAME arg - argument (the angle or phase) of a complex number SYNOPSIS arg(x [,eps]) TYPES x number eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Returns the argument of x to the nearest or next to nearest multiple of eps; the error will be less in absolute value than 0.75 * abs(eps), but usually less than 0.5 * abs(eps).
