What is math.erf() in Python?

Python is a high-level programming language that provides functionalities for a number of operations. The math module comes with mathematical methods and constraints, which make for straightforward calculations. math.erf() is used to print error functions for numbers. Error functions are used widely in statistical computations, machine learning, and a number of theoretical applications. It is defined as the integral of the normal distribution. There are a number of rules attached to this function:

1. math.erf (-∞) = -1
2. math.erf (+∞) = 1
3. math.erf (-x) = -math.erf(x)
4. math.erf (x*) = [math.erf (x)]*

Syntax

Parameters

• x: The specified number of which to find the error function. Any positive or negative number is accepted. This parameter is required.

Return value

This method returns the error function of the specified number in the form of a float value between -1 and +1.
