Python math sqrt() function example
Simple example code.
import math
number = 16
result = math.sqrt(number)
print("The square root of", number, "is:", result)
Output:
In this example, we import the math
module. We then define the variable number
and assign it the value 16. The sqrt()
function is called with number
as the argument, and the result is stored in the variable result
. Finally, we print the result along with a descriptive message.
