Python Module
A module is a logical organization of Python code. Related code

are grouped into a module which makes the code easier to
understand and use. Any python module is an object with
different attributes which can be bind and referenced.
Simply, it is a file containing a set of functions which can be
included in our application.
Python provide inbuilt standard modules, like math, random etc.
Advantages of Modularity
• The modularity is one of the important feature of programing. It allows to divide the code
into different small units. The advantages of modularity are as following:
I. Reduces the complexity of program

II. Make reading easy
III. Make the program to easily understand
IV. Offers reusability
math module
math module
The math module is a standard module in
Python and is always available. To use
mathematical functions under this
module, you have to import the module
using import math.
How to use math function
import math
math.sqrt(4)
math module
math.sqrt()
The math.sqrt() method returns the square root of a given number.
>>>math.sqrt(100)
10.0
>>>math.sqrt(3)
1.7320508075688772
The ceil() function approximates the given number to the smallest integer,
greater than or equal to the given floating point number.
The floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to the given
number.
>>> import math
>>>math.ceil(4.5867)
5
>>>math.floor(4.5687)
4
math.pow()
The math.pow() method receives two float arguments, raises the first to the
second and returns the result. In other words, pow(2,3) is equivalent to 2**3.
>>>math.pow(2,4)
16.0
math module
math.fabs()
Returns the absolute value of x
>>> import math
>>> math.fabs(-5.5)
5.5
The math module contains functions for calculating various trigonometric

ratios for a given angle. The functions (sin, cos, tan, etc.) need the angle in
radians as an argument.
>>> math.sin(270)
-0.1760459464712114
Random Module
Random Module
The random module provides access to functions that support many
operations.Perhaps the most important thing is that it allows us to generate
random numbers.
random.randint()
Randint accepts two parameters: a lowest and a highest number.
>>>import random
>>>print (random.randint(0, 5))
This will output either 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
random.random()
• Genereate random number from 0.01 to 1.If we want a larger number, we can
multiply it.
>>>import random
>>>print(random.random() *100)
Random Module
randrange()
generate random numbers from a specified range and also allowing rooms for steps
to be included.
This function accepts the start, stop, and step values to generate random number by a
specified series. The syntax is as following:
randrange(start, stop, step)

Start: It is an optional parameter that starts the range from the given number. If not given the
range starts from 0.
Stop : This is mandatory parameter for this function. It specifies the upper limit for the range.
Step: This is an optional parameter which changes the value and increment the value as
specified.
Syntax :
random.randrange(start(opt),stop,step(opt))
>>>import math
>>>print(random.randrange(6, 9,2))
statistics module
statistics module
This module provides functions for calculating mathematical statistics of numeric
(Real-valued) data.
statistics.mean(data)
Return the sample arithmetic mean of data which can be a sequence or
iterator.The arithmetic mean is the sum of the data divided by the number of data
points(AVERAGE).
>>>import statistics
>>>print(statistics.mean([5,3,2]))
OUTPUT
3.3333333333333335
statistics.median(data)
Return the median (middle value) of numeric data. Median is the middle value of a
given dataset.
>>>print(statistics.median([5,5,4,4,3,3,,2]))
OUTPUT
3.5
statistics module
statistics.mode(data)
Return the most common data point from discrete or nominal data. The mode
(when it exists) is the most typical value, and is a robust measure of central
location.If data is empty, or if there is not exactly one most common value,
StatisticsError is raised.
>>>print(statistics.mode([1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4]))
OUTPUT
3
