Python Basic: Exercise-72 with Solution

Math Module Details

Write a Python program to get the details of the math module.

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

# Imports the math module
import math            
# Use the 'dir' function to get a list of names in the 'math' module, including functions and constants.
# Store this list in the 'math_ls' variable.
math_ls = dir(math)
# Print the list of names in the 'math' module, which includes mathematical functions and constants.
print(math_ls)

Sample Output:

NAME
    math

DESCRIPTION
    This module is always available.  It provides access to the
    mathematical functions defined by the C standard.

FUNCTIONS
    acos(...)
        acos(x)
        
        Return the arc cosine (measured in radians) of x.
    
    acosh(...)
        acosh(x)
        
        Return the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x.
    
    asin(...)
        asin(x)
        
        Return the arc sine (measured in radians) of x.
    
    asinh(...)
        asinh(x)
        
        Return the inverse hyperbolic sine of x.

        atan(x)
        
        Return the arc tangent (measured in radians) of x.
    
    atan2(...)
        atan2(y, x)
        
        Return the arc tangent (measured in radians) of y/x.
        Unlike atan(y/x), the signs of both x and y are considered.
    
    atanh(...)
        atanh(x)
        
        Return the inverse hyperbolic tangent of x.
    
    ceil(...)
        ceil(x)
        
        Return the ceiling of x as an Integral.
        This is the smallest integer >= x.
    
    copysign(...)
        copysign(x, y)
        
        Return a float with the magnitude (absolute value) of x but the sign 
        of y. On platforms that support signed zeros, copysign(1.0, -0.0) 
        returns -1.0.
    
    cos(...)
        cos(x)
        
        Return the cosine of x (measured in radians).

    expm1(...)
        expm1(x)

        This function avoids the loss of precision involved in the direct evaluation of exp(x)-1 for small x.
    
    fabs(...)
        fabs(x)
        
        Return the absolute value of the float x.

    floor(...)
        floor(x)
        
        Return the floor of x as an Integral.

        Return fmod(x, y), according to platform C.  x % y may differ.
    
    frexp(...)
        frexp(x)

        gamma(x)
        
        Gamma function at x.
    
    gcd(...)
        gcd(x, y) -> int
        greatest common divisor of x and y
    
    hypot(...)
        hypot(x, y)

               magnitude of the input values
            abs_tol
               maximum difference for being considered "close", regardless of the
               magnitude of the input values
        
        Return True if a is close in value to b, and False otherwise.
        
        For the values to be considered close, the difference between them
        must be smaller than at least one of the tolerances.
        
        -inf, inf and NaN behave similarly to the IEEE 754 Standard.  That
        is, NaN is not close to anything, even itself.  inf and -inf are
        only close to themselves.
    
    isfinite(...)
