Mathematical functions (Solved)

Hello.
I was wondering if Renpy supported any mathematical functions other than the +-=<>)(. Can anyone point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

I might be confusing with another language but there's some "^" or "Pow()" for X at the power of Y. Square root should be possible then (Power of 1/2 as someone here pointed out once ^^)... or am I mixing things up >.>..?...
The best is to say what you're looking for.

Actually, in python, power is **. For example, 2 ** 8 = 64.
A list of numeric operators is at:
http://docs.python.org/lib/typesnumeric.html and
http://docs.python.org/lib/bitstring-ops.html .
You can also import the python math module, using code like:
This gives you a bunch of mathematical operations. For example:
The math module documentation is here:

Well, a lot of other modern languages use Math.Pow() or some variant, so you have a good excuse.
