The discussion revolves around a Python code snippet for graphing the tangent and arctangent functions using NumPy and Matplotlib. Participants explore the correctness of the code and seek feedback on its output and presentation.
Participants generally agree on the need for output to evaluate the code, but there is no consensus on the best method for sharing that output.
Some participants express uncertainty about the effectiveness of different methods for sharing results, and there are no specific details provided about the output of the code.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x=np.arange(-5*np.pi, 5*np.pi, step = 0.02)
plt.ylim(-1, 1)
tan=np.tan(x)
arctan=np.arctan(x)
plt.plot(x,tan)
plt.plot(x,arctan)Yeah I did, and it went fine I think, I just wanted to make sure it was okay. Thanks for the response though.phyzguy said:Can't you run it and see?
Oh okay, like attaching a photo of the results I obtained?sysprog said:You showed that you understand that arctan is the inverse of tan, but if you want us to evaluate your code, maybe you could show some of its output.
Maybe a text copy would be better than a screenshot, but the point is that for diagnostic purposes, we're better informed if we can see all of the components -- input, code, and output.ver_mathstats said:Oh okay, like attaching a photo of the results I obtained?
If you add a line that says:ver_mathstats said:Oh okay, like attaching a photo of the results I obtained?
plt.savefig("myplot.png")nicephyzguy said:If you add a line that says:
it will save the plot as a png file which you can then attach to your post using the "Attach Files" button.Python:plt.savefig("myplot.png")
