Python用其语言允许进行各种数学运算,这在科学领域具有多种应用。这样的Python产品之一就是内置的gamma()函数,该函数以数字方式计算函数中传递的数字的伽玛值。
用法:math.gamma(x)
参数:
x:The number whose gamma value needs to be computed.
返回值:伽玛值,在数值上等于“factorial(x-1)”。
代码1:演示gamma()的工作
# Python code to demonstrate
# working of gamma()
import math
# initializing argument
gamma_var = 6
# Printing the gamma value.
print ("The gamma value of the given argument is:"
+ str(math.gamma(gamma_var)))
输出:
The gamma value of the given argument is:120.0
factorial()和gamma()
伽玛值也可以使用factorial(x-1),但用例gamma()因为如果我们比较这两个功能以完成相似的任务,gamma()提供更好的性能。
代码2:比较中factorial()和gamma()
# Python code to demonstrate
# factorial() vs gamma()
import math
import time
# initializing argument
gamma_var = 6
# checking performance
# gamma() vs factorial()
start_fact = time.time()
res_fact = math.factorial(gamma_var-1)
print ("The gamma value using factorial is:"
+ str(res_fact))
print ("The time taken to compute is:"
+ str(time.time() - start_fact))
print ('\n')
start_gamma = time.time()
res_gamma = math.gamma(gamma_var)
print ("The gamma value using gamma() is:"
+ str(res_gamma))
print ("The time taken to compute is:"
+ str(time.time() - start_gamma))
输出:
The gamma value using factorial is:120
The time taken to compute is:9.059906005859375e-06
The gamma value using gamma() is:120.0
The time taken to compute is:5.245208740234375e-06
