numpy.sinc() in Python

numpy.sinc(array) : This mathematical function helps user to calculate sinc function for all x(being the array elements).

Parameters :
array : [array_like] elements are in radians. 2pi Radians = 36o degrees

Return :
An array with sinc value of x for all x i.e. array elements.

Code #1 : Working

# Python3 program explaining
# sinc() function
import numpy as np
import math

in_array = [0, math.pi / 2, np.pi / 3, np.pi]
print ("Input array : \n", in_array)

sinc_Values = np.sinc(in_array)
print ("\nSinc values : \n", sinc_Values)

Output:

Input array : 
 [0, 1.5707963267948966, 1.0471975511965976, 3.141592653589793]

Sinc values : 
 [ 1.         -0.19765087 -0.04490537 -0.04359863]

Code #2 : Graphical Representation

# Python program showing Graphical
# representation of sinc() function
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

in_array = np.linspace(-np.pi, np.pi, 12)
out_array = np.sinc(in_array)

print("in_array : ", in_array)
print("\nout_array : ", out_array)

# red for numpy.sinc()
plt.plot(in_array, out_array, color = 'red', marker = "o")
plt.title("numpy.sinc()")
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")

plt.show()

Output:
