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 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. |
If out
is provided, the function writes the result into it, and returns a reference to out
. (See Examples)
