Mathematical Functions in Python | Set 2 (Logarithmic and Power Functions)

Numeric functions are discussed in set 1 below Mathematical Functions in Python | Set 1 ( Numeric Functions) Logarithmic and power functions are discussed in this set. 1. exp(a) :- This function returns the value of e raised to the power a (e**a) . 2. log(a, b) :- This function returns the logarithmic value of a with base b. If base is not mentioned, the computed value is of natural log. 

# Python code to demonstrate the working of 
# exp() and log() 

# importing "math" for mathematical operations 
import math 

# returning the exp of 4 
print ("The e**4 value is : ", end="") 
print (math.exp(4)) 

# returning the log of 2,3 
print ("The value of log 2 with base 3 is : ", end="") 
print (math.log(2,3)) 

Output:

The e**4 value is : 54.598150033144236
The value of log 2 with base 3 is : 0.6309297535714574

3. log2(a) :- This function computes value of log a with base 2. This value is more accurate than the value of the function discussed above. 4. log10(a) :- This function computes value of log a with base 10. This value is more accurate than the value of the function discussed above. 

# Python code to demonstrate the working of 
# log2() and log10() 

# importing "math" for mathematical operations 
import math 

# returning the log2 of 16 
print ("The value of log2 of 16 is : ", end="") 
print (math.log2(16)) 

# returning the log10 of 10000 
print ("The value of log10 of 10000 is : ", end="") 
print (math.log10(10000)) 

Output:

The value of log2 of 16 is : 4.0
The value of log10 of 10000 is : 4.0

5. pow(a, b) :- This function is used to compute value of a raised to the power b (a**b). 6. sqrt() :- This function returns the square root of the number. 

# Python code to demonstrate the working of 
# pow() and sqrt() 

# importing "math" for mathematical operations 
import math 

# returning the value of 3**2 
print ("The value of 3 to the power 2 is : ", end="") 
print (math.pow(3,2)) 

# returning the square root of 25 
print ("The value of square root of 25 : ", end="") 
print (math.sqrt(25)) 

Output:

The value of 3 to the power 2 is : 9.0
The value of square root of 25 : 5.0
