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.
