Omit joining lines in matplotlib plot e.g. y = tan(x)

Question

I have the graph y = tan(x) and I want to remove the vertical lines (see below).

Here is my code:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.p         


        

Answer 1

Use the definition of tan, sin/cos. The vertical asymptotes will happen when cos = 0, so write a conditional statement such as: if cos(x) != 0: plt.plot(x, np.tan(x))
