Python has a set of built-in math functions, including an extensive math module, that allows you to perform mathematical tasks on numbers
The min()
and max()
functions can be used to find the lowest or highest value in an iterable:
x = min(5, 10, 25)
y = max(5, 10, 25)
print(x)
print(y)
The abs()
function returns the absolute (positive) value of the specified number:
x = abs(-7.25)
print(x)
The pow(x, y)
function returns the value of x to the power of y (xy).
Return the value of 4 to the power of 3 (same as 4 * 4 * 4):
x = pow(4, 3)
print(x)
Python has also a built-in module called math
, which extends the list of mathematical functions.
To use it, you must import the math
module:
import math
When you have imported the math
module, you
can start using methods and constants of the module.
The math.sqrt()
method for example, returns the square root of a number:
import
math
x = math.sqrt(64)
print(x)
The math.ceil()
method rounds a number upwards to
its nearest integer, and the math.floor()
method rounds a number downwards to its nearest integer, and returns the result:
import
math
x = math.ceil(1.4)
y = math.floor(1.4)
print(x) #
returns 2
print(y) # returns 1
The math.pi
constant, returns the value of
PI (3.14...):
import
math
x = math.pi
print(x)
In our Math Module Reference you will find a complete reference of all methods and constants that belongs to the Math module.
