Math Module

---

The min() and max() functions can be used to find the lowest or highest value in an iterable

Example 1

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

Output

5

25

The abs() function returns the absolute value of the specified number

Example 2

x = abs(-7.25)
print(x)

Output

7.25

The pow(x, y) function returns the value of x to the power of y.

Example

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

Output

64

Python also has a built-in module called math, which extends the list of mathematical functions. In order to use it, the math module must be imported.

Example

import math

Here is a list of all the Math module functions that can be used:

Method	Description
math.acos()	Returns the arc cosine of a number
math.acosh()	Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of a number

Constant	Description
math.e	Returns Euler's number (2.7182...)
math.inf	Returns a floating-point positive infinity
