How to Calculate square Root in Python
Published on Aug. 22, 2023, 12:16 p.m.
There are multiple ways to calculate the square root of a number in Python. Here are a few examples:
- Using the
sqrt()
function from themath
module:
import math
num = 25
sqrt = math.sqrt(num)
print("The square root of", num, "is", sqrt)
- Using the exponential operator
**
:
num = 25
sqrt = num ** 0.5
print("The square root of", num, "is", sqrt)
- Using the
sqrt()
function from theNumPy
module:
import numpy as np
num = 25
sqrt = np.sqrt(num)
print("The square root of", num, "is", sqrt)
All three methods will produce the same output, which is the square root of the input number:
The square root of 25 is 5.0
Note that the math
and numpy
modules support complex numbers as well as positive real numbers for the sqrt()
function.
