numpy.tan¶
-
numpy.
tan
(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'tan'>¶ Compute tangent element-wise.
Equivalent to
np.sin(x)/np.cos(x)
element-wise.Parameters: x : array_like
Input array.
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional
A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
where : array_like, optional
Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone.
**kwargs
For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.
Returns: y : ndarray
The corresponding tangent values.
Notes
If out is provided, the function writes the result into it, and returns a reference to out. (See Examples)
