copysign() math function in python by R4R Team

- copysign() is a python math function which are able to change the sign of the numeric values.

Syntax-

math.copysign(num1,num2)

-Here copysign() takes two argument both are number, it can be positive or negative both.
-It return the float num1 with the sign of num2.

Example-

num1 is 4
num2 is -n
copysign(num1,num2) will return -4

num1 is -4
num2 is n
copysign(num1,num2) will return 4


program-

import math
a=4
b=-1
n=math.copysign(a,b)
print(n)

print(math.copysign(3,-2))
print(math.copysign(-3,-2))
print(math.copysign(-3,2))
print(math.copysign(3,2))

output-

-4.0
-3.0
-3.0
3.0
3.0

-In this program, we import the math library by import math, then we have a two number 4 and -1 , copysign(4,-1) will return -4.0 because of num2 is negative number.

What if we try to put 0 at num1 and num2.

program-

import math
print(math.copysign(3,0))
print(math.copysign(0,-2))

output-

3.0
-0.0

-It will give no issue and work correctly and copysign(3,0) will return 3.0 that means 0 is also consider on positive number side.
