Hi all,
this is a newbie question on :
Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
PC with WinXP
In
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-math.html
I read:
"sqrt( x) Return the square root of x."
Now the test for module math with function pow():
---------------------------------------------------
>>> pow(9,9)
387420489
Fine, but sqrt() fails:
-------------------
>>> sqrt(9)
I get this error message
'Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
sqrt(9)
NameError: name 'sqrt' is not defined'
Same for sin() and cos(). ">>> Import math" does not help. Will I have to
define the sqrt() function first? If so, how?
Please help!
Thank you,
Siggi
