In Python ‘this’ is not a built-in method/function.

You would simply write:
print(y -x)

The keyword ‘this’ and with Python more often ‘self’ is a naming convention used to refer to the current instance of a class object (usually specified as the first arg when defining a class).

However ‘this’ in the context above has no meaning and would cause an error.

You can put anything after 'as', in Python

Answer 4

Haha, it happens 😎

From the sound of it you’ve worked it out, but to keep the question/answer correct.

You are using ‘this’ as an alias for sqrt from math library.

However, you’ve got the import statement the wrong way around:

import sqrt from math as this

Should be:
from math import sqrt as this
