Python Math

Python features a number of built-in math functions, including a large math module, which enables mathematical tasks to be carried out on numbers.

Example 1 :- The functions min() and max() are used to find in an iterable the lowest or highest value :

x = min(5, 10, 25)
y = max(5, 10, 25)
print(x)
print(y)

Output :-

Example 2 :- The function abs() returns the absolute value (positive) of the provided number. It removes signs (positive (+) sign or negative (-) sign) from the given number.

x = abs(-7.25)
print(x)

Output :-

The function pow(x,y) returns the value x to the power y (xy) :

Example 3 :- Return the value of 4 to the power of 3 (same as 4 * 4 * 4):

x = pow(4, 3)
print(x)

Output :-

Python additionally has an integrated math module which extends the mathematical list functions.

The math module has to be imported to use it :

import math

You can start with the methods and constants of the module when you have imported the math module.

Example 1 :- For example math.sqrt() returns a number's square root :

import math
x = math.sqrt(64)
print(x)

Output :-

Example 2 :- The function math.ceil() rounds a number up to its nearest integer, and the method math.floor() rounds down to its closest integer and returns the result :

#Import math library
import math
#Round a number upward to its nearest integer
x = math.ceil(1.4)
#Round a number downward to its nearest integer
y = math.floor(1.4)
print(x)
print(y)

Output :-

Example 3 :- The math.pi constant, PI value yields (3.14...) :

import math
x = math.pi
print(x)

Output :-
