\section{Built-in Module \module{cmath}}
|
|
\label{module-cmath}
|
|
|
|
\bimodindex{cmath}
|
|
This module is always available.
|
|
It provides access to mathematical functions for complex numbers.
|
|
The functions are:
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{acos}{x}
|
|
Return the arc cosine of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{acosh}{x}
|
|
Return the hyperbolic arc cosine of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{asin}{x}
|
|
Return the arc sine of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{asinh}{x}
|
|
Return the hyperbolic arc sine of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{atan}{x}
|
|
Return the arc tangent of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{atanh}{x}
|
|
Return the hyperbolic arc tangent of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{cos}{x}
|
|
Return the cosine of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{cosh}{x}
|
|
Return the hyperbolic cosine of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{exp}{x}
|
|
Return the exponential value \code{e**\var{x}}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{log}{x}
|
|
Return the natural logarithm of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{log10}{x}
|
|
Return the base-10 logarithm of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{sin}{x}
|
|
Return the sine of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{sinh}{x}
|
|
Return the hyperbolic sine of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{sqrt}{x}
|
|
Return the square root of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{tan}{x}
|
|
Return the tangent of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{tanh}{x}
|
|
Return the hyperbolic tangent of \var{x}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
The module also defines two mathematical constants:
|
|
|
|
\begin{datadesc}{pi}
|
|
The mathematical constant \emph{pi}, as a real.
|
|
\end{datadesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{datadesc}{e}
|
|
The mathematical constant \emph{e}, as a real.
|
|
\end{datadesc}
|
|
|
|
Note that the selection of functions is similar, but not identical, to
|
|
that in module \code{math}\refbimodindex{math}. The reason for having
|
|
two modules is, that some users aren't interested in complex numbers,
|
|
and perhaps don't even know what they are. They would rather have
|
|
\code{math.sqrt(-1)} raise an exception than return a complex number.
|
|
Also note that the functions defined in \code{cmath} always return a
|
|
complex number, even if the answer can be expressed as a real number
|
|
(in which case the complex number has an imaginary part of zero).
