How to Calculate the exponential value of a number in Python
Published on Aug. 22, 2023, 12:16 p.m.
To calculate the exponential value of a number in Python, you can use the math.exp()
function or the **
operator. Here are some examples:
Using the math.exp() function:
import math
result = math.exp(2)
print(result)
This will output approximately 7.389, which is e^2.
Using the ** operator:
result = 2 ** 3
print(result)
This will output 8, which is 2^3.
If you want to calculate the exponential value of a number to a specific base, you can use the ** operator like this:
result = 3 ** 2
print(result)
This will output 9, which is 3^2.
Note that the math.exp() function calculates the exponential value using the constant ‘e’ as its base. If you want to calculate the exponential value to a different base, you can use the ** operator instead.
