python-scipyHow can I use Python and SciPy to calculate the complementary error function (erfc)?

The complementary error function (erfc) can be calculated using Python and SciPy. To do this, we first need to import the SciPy special library and then use the erfc function to calculate the result.

from scipy.special import erfc

x = 0.5

result = erfc(x)
print(result)

Output example

0.47950012218695346

The code consists of the following parts:

1. from scipy.special import erfc - imports the erfc function from the SciPy special library.
2. x = 0.5 - assigns the value 0.5 to the variable x.
3. result = erfc(x) - calculates the result of the erfc function with the value of x.
4. print(result) - prints the result of the calculation.
