Python’s built-in functions are predefined functions you can use anywhere in your code without any imports. They handle common tasks across math, data type creation, iterable processing, and input and output. Knowing which ones to reach for makes your code shorter and more Pythonic.
In this video course, you’ll:
- Recognize Python’s built-in functions and the built-in scope they live in
- Use the right built-in for math, data types, iterables, and I/O tasks
- Tell apart true functions and classes that look like functions
- Apply built-ins to solve practical problems without reinventing the wheel
To get the most out of this video course, you’ll need to be familiar with Python programming, including topics like working with built-in data types, functions, classes, decorators, scopes, and the import system.
