Maths
Explanation
Python can perform several mathematical functions, but these are only available when the
data is treated as either an integer (a whole number) or a floating-point (a
number with a decimal place). If data is stored as a string, even if it only contains numeric
characters, Python is unable to perform calculations with it (see page 24 for a fuller
explanation).

Example Code
Please note: In order to use some of the mathematical functions (math.sqrt(num)
and math.pi) you will need to import the maths
library at the start of your program. You do this by print(round(num,2))
typing import math as the first line of your Displays a number rounded to
program. two decimal places.

** math.sqrt(num)
To the power of The square root of a number, but you must have the line import
(e.g. 102 is 10**2). math at the top of your program for this to work.

num=float(input(“Enter number: “))


Allows numbers with a decimal point dividing the integer and fraction part.

math.pi
Gives you pi (π) to 15 decimal places,
but you must have the line import
math at the top of your program for
this to work.

x // y
Whole number division (e.g.15//2 gives
the answer 7).

x % y
Finds the remainder (e.g. 15%2 gives
the answer 1).
