How to find the exponential of a number?

Question

What is the easiest/most optimal way of finding the exponential of a number, say x, in Python? i.e. how can I implement e^x?

That's just "finding the exponential", not finding the "exponential *of a function*". — khelwood, Nov 16 '22 at 15:01

The easiest and most optimal way to do e^x in Python is:

from math import exp

print(exp(4))

Output

>>> 54.598150033144236

Just curios how this differ from the other answer? – Abdul Niyas P M Nov 16 '22 at 15:01

Import only `exp` function instead of import the whole `math` module – Khaled DELLAL Nov 16 '22 at 15:12

You can use the math.exp() function from the math module (read the docs).

>>> import math
>>> x = 4
>>> print(math.exp(x))

I'm glad you found an answer, but perhaps this question could be deleted rather than answered. – John Coleman Nov 16 '22 at 14:59
