Python | Tensorflow cos() method

Tensorflow is an open-source machine learning library developed by Google. One of its applications is to develop deep neural networks. 

The module tensorflow.math provides support for many basic mathematical operations. Function tf.cos() [alias tf.math.cos] provides support for the cosine function in Tensorflow. It expects the input in radian form and the output is in the range [-1, 1]. The input type is tensor and if the input contains more than one element, element-wise cosine is computed.

Syntax: tf.cos(x, name=None) or tf.math.cos(x, name=None) 

Parameters: 
x: A tensor of any of the following types: float16, float32, float64, complex64, or complex128. 
name (optional): The name for the operation. 
Return type: A tensor with the same type as that of x.

Code #1: 

# Importing the Tensorflow library
import tensorflow as tf

# A constant vector of size 6
a = tf.constant([1.0, -0.5, 3.4, -2.1, 0.0, -6.5], dtype = tf.float32)

# Applying the cos function and
# storing the result in 'b'
b = tf.cos(a, name ='cos')

# Initiating a Tensorflow session
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print('Input type:', a)
    print('Input:', sess.run(a))
    print('Return type:', b)
    print('Output:', sess.run(b))

Output:

Input type: Tensor("Const_2:0", shape=(6, ), dtype=float32)
Input: [ 1.        -0.5        3.4000001 -2.0999999  0.        -6.5      ]
Return type: Tensor("cos:0", shape=(6, ), dtype=float32)
Output: [ 0.54030228  0.87758255 -0.96679819 -0.50484604  1.          0.97658765]

  Code #2: Visualization 

# Importing the Tensorflow library
import tensorflow as tf

# Importing the NumPy library
import numpy as np

# Importing the matplotlib.pyplot function
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# A vector of size 15 with values from -5 to 5
a = np.linspace(-5, 5, 15)

# Applying the cos function and
# storing the result in 'b'
b = tf.cos(a, name ='cos')

# Initiating a Tensorflow session
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print('Input:', a)
    print('Output:', sess.run(b))
    plt.plot(a, sess.run(b), color = 'red', marker = "o") 
    plt.title("tensorflow.cos") 
    plt.xlabel("X") 
    plt.ylabel("Y") 

    plt.show()

Output:

Input: [-5.         -4.28571429 -3.57142857 -2.85714286 -2.14285714 -1.42857143

Output: [ 0.28366219 -0.41384591 -0.90903414 -0.9598162  -0.5413659   0.1417459
