Jan 8, 2017 · @Teepeemm: Mind you, math.pow is basically 100% useless; ** does the job without an import, and doesn't force conversion to float. And the built-in pow is the only one …

Jan 7, 2014 · Which one is more efficient using math.pow or the ** operator? When should I use one over the other? So far I know that x**y can return an int or a float if you use a decimal the …

Even in base Python you can do the computation in generic form result = sum(x**2 for x in some_vector) ** 0.5 x ** 2 is surely not an hack and the computation performed is the same (I …

Aug 25, 2016 · You can use exp(x) function of math library, which is same as e^x. Hence you may write your code as: import math x.append(1 - math.exp( -0.5 * (value1*value2)**2)) I have …

Jan 20, 2014 · pylab.xlabel('metres 10^1') But I don't want to have the ^ symbol included . pylab.xlabel('metres 10$^{one}$') This method works and will superscript letters but doesn't …

I'm very confused as to what np.exp() actually does. In the documentation it says that it: "Calculates the exponential of all elements in the input array." I'm confused as to what exactly …

Feb 23, 2018 · Why is ^ not squaring in Python? I know exponentiation is ** instead, but what exactly is ^ and why wasn't that operator used instead? For example 2^2=0, 3^2=1.

What does this mean in Python: sock.recvfrom(2**16) I know what sock is, and I get the gist of the recvfrom function, but what the heck is 2**16? Specifically, the two asterisk/double asterisk …

Sep 23, 2012 · I want to write a function that takes a single floating-point parameter x and returns the value of the function e(to the power of x) . Using the Taylor series expansion to compute …

Dec 14, 2021 · Note that it doesn't behave oddly for floats (it just doesn't work with floats!). Also note that many people accidentally run into this while looking for **, the exponentiation operator.
