numpy.cos — NumPy v1.15 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy. cos(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, _subok=True_[, signature, _extobj_]) = <ufunc 'cos'>

Cosine element-wise.

Parameters: x : array_like Input array in radians. 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 theufunc docs.
Returns: y : ndarray The corresponding cosine values. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Notes

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

Examples

np.cos(np.array([0, np.pi/2, np.pi])) array([ 1.00000000e+00, 6.12303177e-17, -1.00000000e+00])

Example of providing the optional output parameter

out2 = np.cos([0.1], out1) out2 is out1 True

Example of ValueError due to provision of shape mis-matched out

np.cos(np.zeros((3,3)),np.zeros((2,2))) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ValueError: invalid return array shape
