Mandatory Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
x	array_like	Input array or scalar, in radians

Optional Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default Value	Description
out	ndarray/ndarray tuple	None	Location where the calculation result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided, a freshly-allocated array is returned.
where	array_like	None	This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is true, the out array stores the result. Elsewhere, the out array retains its original value.
**kwargs	-	-	Other keyword arguments. Refer to the NumPy official document Universal functions (ufunc).

Return Value

Type	Description
ndarray/scalar	Triangular tangent of each element

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.tan(np.pi / 4)
0.9999999999999999
>>> x = np.array([0., 30., 45., 60., 90.]) * np.pi / 180.0
>>> np.tan(x)
array([0.00000000e+00, 5.77350269e-01, 1.00000000e+00, 1.73205081e+00,
       1.63312394e+16])
