Math Functions

The math module provides mathematical operations and constants.

Importing

import math

Constants

Pi

The mathematical constant π (approximately 3.14159...).

import math
set area to call math.Pi times (radius times radius)

Functions

sqrt

Calculate the square root of a number.

Syntax: call math.sqrt with number

Example:

import math
set result to call math.sqrt with 16  # Returns 4

power

Raise a number to a power.

Syntax: call math.power with base, exponent

Example:

import math
set result to call math.power with 2, 8  # Returns 256 (2^8)

abs

Get the absolute value of a number.

Syntax: call math.abs with number

Example:

import math
set result to call math.abs with -10  # Returns 10

round

Round a number to the nearest integer.

Syntax: call math.round with number

Example:

import math
set result to call math.round with 3.7   # Returns 4
set result2 to call math.round with 3.2  # Returns 3

floor

Round down to the nearest integer.

Syntax: call math.floor with number

Example:

import math
set result to call math.floor with 3.9  # Returns 3
set result2 to call math.floor with 3.1  # Returns 3

ceil

Round up to the nearest integer.

Syntax: call math.ceil with number

Example:

import math
set result to call math.ceil with 3.1   # Returns 4
set result2 to call math.ceil with 3.9   # Returns 4

rand

Generate a random number between 0.0 and 1.0.

Syntax: call math.rand with

Example:

import math
set random_value to call math.rand with  # Returns a random float

min

Find the minimum value from a list of numbers.

Syntax: call math.min with number1, number2, ...

Example:

import math
set result to call math.min with 5, 10, 3, 8  # Returns 3

max

Find the maximum value from a list of numbers.

Syntax: call math.max with number1, number2, ...

Example:

import math
set result to call math.max with 5, 10, 3, 8  # Returns 10

Examples

Calculating Circle Area

import math

function circle_area with radius:
    return call math.Pi times (call math.power with radius, 2)

set area to call circle_area with 5
print area  # Prints: 78.539...

Finding Min/Max in a List

import math

set numbers to list 3, 7, 2, 9, 1, 5

# Note: min/max currently take individual arguments, not lists
# You would need to call them with individual values or iterate
let min_val to numbers at 0
let max_val to numbers at 0

for num in numbers:
    if num is less than min_val:
        let min_val to num
    if num is greater than max_val:
        let max_val to num

print f"Min: {min_val}, Max: {max_val}"
