atan2 rotation angle between 2 points - Daslee - 19.02.2013

How I can get rotation angle in degrees in pawn using atan2? I tried this:

pawn Code:

forward getAngleBetween(Float:x1, Float:y1, Float:x2, Float:y2);
public getAngleBetween(Float:x1, Float:y1, Float:x2, Float:y2){
    new Float:angle = atan2(y1-y2, x1-x2) * 57.2957795;
    return angle;
}

But got this result:
-979055680

And tried this:

pawn Code:

forward getAngleBetween(Float:x1, Float:y1, Float:x2, Float:y2);
public getAngleBetween(Float:x1, Float:y1, Float:x2, Float:y2){
    new Float:angle = atan2(y2-y1, x2-x1);
    return angle;
}

And here is result:
-1029692736

I also tried those codes in Java programming language, and it worked perfect, but here in pawn it's wrong. Where could be the problem?

Yes, I'm getting tag mismatch error on line:

pawn Code:

return angle;

Already read this, but can't find solution for my problem. Even in that topic u gave, he getting 0-360 angle, and I'm getting in thousands.

EDIT: Fixed it. Never knew that tag mismatch could do so big changes to results, thanks ******
