8.1. Builtin Functions

8.1.1. Power - pow()

• pow() - Raise number to the power of exponential (the same as **)

>>> pow(2, 4)
16
>>>
>>> pow(16, 1/2)
4.0

Builtin function pow() raises number to the n-th power. Note, that arithmetic operator ** also raises number to the power:

>>> pow(10, 2)
100
>>>
>>> pow(2, -1)
0.5

>>> pow(1.337, 3)
2.389979753
>>>
>>> pow(4, 0.5)
2.0
>>>
>>> pow(2, 0.5)
1.4142135623730951

Builtin function pow() can be used to calculate roots of a number:

>>> pow(4, 1/2)
2.0
>>>
>>> pow(2, 1/2)
1.4142135623730951
>>>
>>> pow(27, 1/3)
3.0

>>> pow(4, -1/2)
0.5
>>>
>>> pow(2, -1/2)
0.7071067811865476
>>>
>>> pow(27, -1/3)
0.33333333333333337

>>> pow(-2, -1)
-0.5
>>>
>>> pow(-4, -1)
-0.25

Builtin function pow() can return complex numbers. Note that Python has special complex() numeric type.

>>> pow(-2, -1/2)
(4.329780281177467e-17-0.7071067811865476j)
>>>
>>> pow(-2, 1/2)
(8.659560562354934e-17+1.4142135623730951j)
>>>
>>> pow(-4, -1/2)
(3.061616997868383e-17-0.5j)
>>>
>>> pow(-4, 1/2)
(1.2246467991473532e-16+2j)

1
>>>
>>> abs(-1)

8.1.19. Assignments

Code 8.51. Solution

"""
* Assignment: Builtin Function Average
* Complexity: easy
* Lines of code: 12 lines
* Time: 13 min

English:
    1. Separate header and rows
    2. Define dict `result: dict[str, list]`, keys are column names from header
    3. For each row, add values to proper lists in `result`
    4. Define function `mean()`, calculating mean for arbitrary number of arguments
    5. Return `None` if any argument to the function is not `float` or `int`
    6. To calculate mean use built-in functions
    7. Iterating over `result` print column name and calculated average
    8. Run doctests - all must succeed

Polish:
    1. Odseparuj nagłówek od wierszy danych
    2. Zdefiniuj słownik `result: dict[str, list]`, klucze to nazwy kolumn z nagłówka
    3. Dla każdego wiersza, dodawaj wartości do odpowiednich list w `result`
    4. Zdefiniuj funkcję `mean()`, liczącą średnią dla dowolnej ilości argumentów
    5. Zwróć `None` jeżeli którykolwiek z argumentów do funkcji nie jest `float` lub `int`
    6. Do wyliczenia średniej wykorzystaj wbudowane funkcje
    7. Iterując po `result` wypisz nazwę kolumny oraz wyliczoną średnią
    8. Uruchom doctesty - wszystkie muszą się powieść

Tests:
    >>> import sys; sys.tracebacklimit = 0

    >>> result  # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
