Python 3 - Number cos() Method
Description
The cos() method returns the cosine of x radians.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for cos() method −
cos(x)
Note − This function is not accessible directly, so we need to import math module and then we need to call this function using math static object.
Parameters
x − This must be a numeric value.
Return Value
This method returns a numeric value between -1 and 1, which represents the cosine of the angle.
Example
The following example shows the usage of cos() method.
#!/usr/bin/python3 import math print ("cos(3) : ", math.cos(3)) print ("cos(-3) : ", math.cos(-3)) print ("cos(0) : ", math.cos(0)) print ("cos(math.pi) : ", math.cos(math.pi)) print ("cos(2*math.pi) : ", math.cos(2*math.pi))
Output
When we run the above program, it produces the following result −
cos(3) : -0.9899924966 cos(-3) : -0.9899924966 cos(0) : 1.0 cos(math.pi) : -1.0 cos(2*math.pi) : 1.0
