 that the output is displayed with an ``Out[1]`` indication.

 Let's try out few other mathematical operations.

 then use the delete key to remove it and type 0 and * to change the
 expression to the required one.  We hit enter to see the output of
 ``print``.

 Now, let's say we want to use the function ``round``. We type ``ro``
 at the prompt and hit the tab key. As you can see, the IPython
 completes the command. This feature is called the tab-completion.
 Now, we remove all the characters and just type ``r`` and then hit
 tab. IPython does not complete the command since there are many
 possibilities. It just lists out all the possible completions.
 Following is an exercise that you must do.

 ``a`` and hit tab to see what happens.

 Now, let's see what these functions are used for.  We will use the
 help features of ipython to find this out.

+few people cannot just follow by listening (like me) :)]]
 To get the help of any function, we first type the function, ``abs``
 in our case and then add a ? at the end and hit enter.
 As the documentation says, ``abs`` accepts a number as an input and
 returns it's absolute value.
 Does it work for decimals (or floats)?  Let's try typing abs(-10.5)
 and we do get back 10.5.

 The function ``round``, rounds a number to a given precision.
