How do you use a module in Python?

There are a few steps to using Python modules:

  1. Import Modules: Use the import keyword to bring in the modules you need. For example, import math will import Python’s math module.
  2. Access functions or variables in a module by using the module name and dot operator. For example, math.sqrt(16) will return the square root of 16.
  3. Give modules an alias (optional): Use the keyword “as” to assign an alias to imported modules, which can simplify the following code. For example, importing math as m will name the math module as m, and then you can use m.sqrt(16).

Here is an example of using modules:

import math

# 使用模块中的函数
print(math.sqrt(16))  # 输出：4.0

# 使用模块中的变量
print(math.pi)  # 输出：3.141592653589793

If you only need to import a specific function or variable from a module, you can use the ‘from’ keyword. For example, ‘from math import sqrt’ will import the square root function from the math module, allowing you to directly use ‘sqrt(16)’.

I hope this can help you to use Python modules!
