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.acos() [alias tf.math.acos] provides support for the inverse cosine function in Tensorflow. It expects the input to be in the range [-1, 1] and gives the output in radian form. It returns nan if the input does not lie in the range [-1, 1]. The input type is tensor and if the input contains more than one element, element-wise inverse cosine is computed.
Syntax: tf.acos(x, name=None) or tf.math.acos(x, name=None)
Parameters:
x: A tensor of any of the following types: bfloat16, half, float32, float64, int32, int64, complex64, or complex128.
name (optional): The name for the operation.Return type: A tensor with the same type as that of x.
Code #1:
Python3
# Importing the Tensorflow library import tensorflow as tf   # A constant vector of size 6 a = tf.constant([1.0, -0.5, 3.4, 0.2, 0.0, -2],                             dtype = tf.float32)   # Applying the acos function and # storing the result in 'b' b = tf.acos(a, name ='acos')   # 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_7:0", shape=(6, ), dtype=float32)
Input: [ 1. -0.5 3.4 0.2 0. -2. ]
Return type: Tensor("acos:0", shape=(6, ), dtype=float32)
Output: [0. 2.0943952 nan 1.3694384 1.5707964 nan]
