To import a module in Python, you can use the import
keyword followed by the name of the module.
Here are the different ways to import a module:
Import the entire module:
import <module_name>
Example:
import math
This will import the math
module, allowing you to use its functions and variables.
Import a specific function/variable from a module:
from <module_name> import <function/variable_name>
Example:
from math import sqrt
This will import only the sqrt
function from the math
module, allowing you to use it directly without referencing the module name.
Use an alias for the module:
import <module_name> as <alias_name>
Example:
import math as m
This will import the math
module and use m
as an alias for it. You can then use functions and variables using the alias, e.g., m.sqrt()
.
Once you have imported a module, you can use its functions, variables, or classes in your code. For example:
import math
print(math.sqrt(16)) # Using the sqrt function from the math module
Note: Make sure the module you want to import is installed on your system. If not, you can install it using package managers like pip.
