How to get Euler's Number in Python

Euler's number is one of the most important numbers in all of Mathematics.

Python is a popular programming language when it comes to math and processing data.

These two combined means that you'll need to be able to get the Euler's number to use it in your Python code.

In this post, we'll learn the many ways you get the Euler's number in Python.

Using the math module

The easiest way to get the Euler's number is to use the math module that you can import in your Python code.

	from math import e

print(e)

	2.718281828459045

Because we are relying on the math module, we can be assured that the Euler's number will be accurate.

Using math.exp()

Also using the math module, we can use the function exp() to get the Euler's number.

This function takes in a parameter which is the power to which the Euler's number is raised.

Because we know any number raised to the power of 1 is itself, we can use this to get the Euler's number.

	from math

print(exp(1))

	2.718281828459045

Conclusion

In this post, we explored how you can use the math module in two different ways to get the Euler's number.

Hopefully, you've found this useful to you when you're writing Python code.
