Here's what your code did: import math # make the math module accessible a = math.sqrt(1000) # set `a` to the square root of 1000 (≈31.62...) a.sqrt # get a reference to the sqrt method/attribute of a float, which does not exist; moreover you are not calling the method/discarding the value so it would be useless anyways -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com> Sent from my Galaxy S3.
