Python Math: Convert Polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates

Python Math: Exercise-35 with Solution

Write a Python program to convert Polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

import cmath
cn = complex(3,4)
# get polar coordinates
print("Polar Coordinates: ",cmath.polar(cn))

# polar to rectangular. Format for input is (length, ‹angle in radians›).
#Returns a complex number
cn1 = cmath.rect(2, cmath.pi)
print("Polar to rectangular: ",cn1)

Sample Output: 

Polar Coordinates:  (5.0, 0.9272952180016122)                                                                 
Polar to rectangular:  (-2+2.4492935982947064e-16j)

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
