Detailed Description

Function Documentation

ceil()

def math.ceil

(

x

)

Return the ceiling of x as a float, the smallest integer value greater than or equal to x.

fabs()

def math.fabs

(

x

)

Return the absolute value of x.

floor()

def math.floor

(

x

)

Return the floor of x as a float, the largest integer value less than or equal to x.

log()

def math.log	(		x,
			base = None
	)

With one argument, return the natural logarithm of x (to base e).

With two arguments, return the logarithm of x to the given base, calculated as log(x)/log(base)

sqrt()

def math.sqrt

(

x

)

Return the square root of x.

acos()

def math.acos

(

x

)

Return the arc cosine of x, in radians.

asin()

def math.asin

(

x

)

Return the arc sine of x, in radians.

atan()

def math.atan

(

x

)

Return the arc tangent of x, in radians.

atan2()

def math.atan2	(		y,
			x
	)

Return atan(y / x), in radians.

The result is between -pi and pi. The vector in the plane from the origin to point (x, y) makes this angle with the positive X axis. The point of atan2() is that the signs of both inputs are known to it, so it can compute the correct quadrant for the angle. For example, atan(1) and atan2(1, 1) are both pi/4, but atan2(-1, -1) is -3*pi/4.

cos()

def math.cos

(

x

)

Return the cosine of x radians.

sin()

def math.sin

(

x

)

Return the sine of x radians.

tan()

def math.tan

(

x

)

Return the tangent of x radians.

degrees()

def math.degrees

(

x

)

Converts angle x from radians to degrees.

radians()

def math.radians

(

x

)

Converts angle x from degrees to radians.

Variable Documentation
