They're not buitltin, they're in the 'math' module (http://docs.python.org/library/math.html#module-math), which you need to import. e.g. import math print math.sqrt(4) Please also Read the Fine Tutorial at: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html Cheers, Chris -- Follow the path of the Iguana... http://rebertia.com > > Tom Lake -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
