Python 3 - Number tan() Method
Description
The tan() method returns the tangent of x radians.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for tan() method −
tan(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 tangent of the parameter x.
Example
The following example shows the usage of tan() method.
#!/usr/bin/python3 import math print ("(tan(3) : ", math.tan(3)) print ("tan(-3) : ", math.tan(-3)) print ("tan(0) : ", math.tan(0)) print ("tan(math.pi) : ", math.tan(math.pi)) print ("tan(math.pi/2) : ", math.tan(math.pi/2)) print ("tan(math.pi/4) : ", math.tan(math.pi/4))
Output
When we run the above program, it produces the following result −
(tan(3) : -0.1425465430742778 tan(-3) : 0.1425465430742778 tan(0) : 0.0 tan(math.pi) : -1.2246467991473532e-16 tan(math.pi/2) : 1.633123935319537e+16 tan(math.pi/4) : 0.9999999999999999
