Python Math

Python has a set built-in math functions that provides access to mathematical functions for permorming tasks on numbers.

The min() and max() Math Function

The min() function is used to find the lowest number and the max() function is used to find the highest number.

Example

x = min(4,6,7,8,2)
y = max(4,6,7,8,2)

print(x)
print(y)

Output

The pow() Math Function

The pow() function is used to get the power of a varible x to the power of y.

Example

x = pow(5,3)
print(x)

Output

The abs() Math Function

The abs() function returns a non-negative value of a numeric value.

Example

x = abs(-55.34)
print(x)

Output

Math Module

Python has a built-in math module that extends the mathematical functionalities for permorming tasks on numbers.

Use Math Module

To use the math module, you will need to import it.

Example

import math

math.ceil()

The ceil() function rounds number up to its nearest integer number.

Example

import math

x = math.ceil(52.31)
print(x)

Output

math.floor()

The floor() function rounds number down to its nearest integer number.

Example

import math

x = math.floor(52.31)
print(x)

Output

math.sqrt()

The sqrt() function returns the square root a number.

Example

import math

x = math.sqrt(40)
print(x)

Output
