numpy.linspace() in Python

About :
numpy.linspace(start, stop, num = 50, endpoint = True, retstep = False, dtype = None) : Returns number spaces evenly w.r.t interval. Similar to arange but instead of step it uses sample number.
Parameters : 

-> start  : [optional] start of interval range. By default start = 0
-> stop   : end of interval range
-> restep : If True, return (samples, step). By deflut restep = False
-> num    : [int, optional] No. of samples to generate
-> dtype  : type of output array

Return : 

-> ndarray
-> step : [float, optional], if restep = True

# Python Programming illustrating
# numpy.linspace method
  
import numpy as geek
  
# restep set to True
print("B\n", geek.linspace(2.0, 3.0, num=5, retstep=True), "\n")
  
# To evaluate sin() in long range 
x = geek.linspace(0, 2, 10)
print("A\n", geek.sin(x))
