Description |
---|---|
from math import * |
Imports all methods (functions) from the math module. |
fabs() |
Returns absolute value of a real number. |
sqrt() |
Returns square root of a real number. |
exp() |
Returns e**x. |
pow(x,y) |
Returns x raised to the power y. |
log(x,base) |
Returns logbase(x). log(x) with no base returns the natural logarithm x. |
fmod(x,y) |
Returns module value of x and y. Use when x and y are floats. |
ceil() |
Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a real number. |
floor() |
Returns the largest integer less than or equal to a real number. |
trunc() |
Truncates a real number to an integer. |
frexp() |
Returns a pair (y,n) where x == y * 2**n. |
