7.10 Exercises

Ex 1: Write a function polar_to_comp, which takes two arguments and and returns the complex number . Use the NumPy function exp for the exponential function.

Ex 2: In the description of the Python module functools, [8], you find the following Python function:

def partial(func, *args, **keywords):
    def newfunc(*fargs, **fkeywords):
        newkeywords = keywords.copy()
        newkeywords.update(fkeywords)
        return func(*(args + fargs), **newkeywords)
    newfunc.func = func
    newfunc.args = args
    newfunc.keywords = keywords
    return newfunc

Explain and test this function.

Ex 3: Write a decorator for the function how_sparse, which cleans the input matrix A by setting the elements that are less than 1.e-16 to zero (consider the example in Section 7.8: Functions as decorators).

Ex 4: A continuous function with changes its sign in the interval and has at least one root (zero) in this interval. Such a root can be found with the bisection method...
