Modules - Python

A module is a file containing Python definitions ,functions, statements and instructions.

MODULES:

 

Ø   A module is a file containing Python definitions ,functions, statements and instructions.

Ø   Standard library of Python is extended as modules.

Ø   To use these modules in a program, programmer needs to import the module.

Ø   Once we import a module, we can reference or use to any of its functions or variables in our code.

There is large number of standard modules also available in python.

Standard modules can be imported the same way as we import our user-defined modules.

Every module contains many function.

To access one of the function , you have to specify the name of the module and the name of the function separated by dot . This format is called dot notation.

 

Syntax:

import module_name

module_name.function_name(variable)


Importing Builtin Module:

import math

x=math.sqrt(25)

print(x)

 

Importing User Defined Module:

import cal

x=cal.add(5,4)

print(x)

 


Built-in python modules are,

 

1.math  mathematical functions:

some of the functions in math module is,

math.ceil(x) - Return the ceiling of x, the smallest integer greater than or equal to x

math.floor(x) - Return the floor of x, the largest integer less than or equal to x.

 math.factorial(x) -Return x factorial.

 math.gcd(x,y)- Return the greatest common divisor of the integers a and b

 

  math.sqrt(x)- Return the square root of x  

  math.log(x)- return the natural logarithm of x   math.log10(x) – returns the base-10 logarithms   math.log2(x) - Return the base-2 logarithm of x.   math.sin(x) – returns sin of x radians

math.cos(x)- returns cosine of x radians

 math.tan(x)-returns tangent of x radians  

 math.pi - The mathematical constant π = 3.141592   math.e – returns The mathematical constant e = 2.718281

 

2. .random-Generate pseudo-random numbers

 random.randrange(stop)

 random.randrange(start, stop[, step])

 random.uniform(a, b)

 -Return a random floating point number
