Python has a set of built-in math functions, including an extensive math


module, that allows you to perform mathematical tasks on numbers.

Built-in Math Functions


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

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

print(x)
print(y)

Try it Yourself »

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

Example
x = abs(-7.25)

print(x)

Try it Yourself »

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

Example
Return the value of 4 to the power of 3 (same as 4 * 4 * 4):
x = pow(4, 3)

print(x)

The Math Module


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 [Link]() method for example, returns the square root of a number:

Example
import math

x = [Link](64)

print(x)

Try it Yourself »

The [Link]() method rounds a number upwards to its nearest integer, and
the [Link]() method rounds a number downwards to its nearest integer,
and returns the result:

Example
import math

x = [Link](1.4)
y = [Link](1.4)
print(x) # returns 2
print(y) # returns 1

Try it Yourself »

The [Link] constant, returns the value of PI (3.14...):

Example
import math

x = [Link]

print(x)
