Python’s Built-in Functions

• abs() Returns a number’s absolute value, which is its distance from zero, regardless of its sign.
• aiter() Returns an asynchronous iterator for the provided asynchronous iterable.
• all() Returns True if all the items in an iterable are truthy and False otherwise.
• anext() Returns the next item from the provided asynchronous iterator.
• any() Returns True if at least one element in the iterable is truthy and False otherwise.
• ascii() Returns a string representation of the input object with non-ASCII characters escaped.
• bin() Returns a string representing the binary equivalent of the given integer prefixed with “0b”.
• bool() Returns the truth value of any Python object as a Boolean value (True or False).
• breakpoint() Calls pdb.set_trace(), entering an interactive debugging session.

• chr() Returns a string that represents the character associated with the given Unicode code point.
• classmethod() Returns a class method object that can be called on both the class and its instances.

• delattr() Deletes the specified attribute from the input object.
• dir() Returns a list of names in the current local scope or the list of attributes and methods of a given object.
• divmod() Returns a tuple containing the quotient and remainder from an integer division.
• enumerate() Returns an enumerate object that yields pairs of count and value from the iterable.
• eval() Returns the result of evaluating an expression from a string or compiled code object.
• exec() Executes code provided as either a string or a compiled code object.
• filter() Returns a filter object that yields those elements of iterable for which the filtering function returns True.
• format() Returns a formatted string representation of the input value according to the specified format.
• getattr() Returns the value of an attribute from an object.
• globals() Returns a dictionary representing the current global symbol table.
• hasattr() Returns True if the object has the specified attribute or method and False otherwise.
• hash() Returns an integer that represents the hash value of the given object.
• help() Opens the interactive help utility or prints the help page for the specified object.
• hex() Returns a string holding the hexadecimal representation of the input integer, prefixed with “0x”.
• id() Returns an integer representing the identity of the input object.
• __import__() Returns the top-level package or module specified by name.
• input() Returns the user input as a string, regardless of the input type.
• isinstance() Returns True if the input object is an instance of a given class, and False otherwise.
• issubclass() Returns True if its first argument is a subclass of its second argument and False otherwise.
• iter() Returns an iterator object that can traverse the elements of the iterable.
• len() Returns an integer representing the number of items in the input object.
• locals() Returns a dictionary representing the current local symbol table with variable names as keys and their corresponding values.
• map() Returns a map object that generates items by applying a transformation function to every item of the input iterable or iterables.
• max() Returns the largest value in an iterable or series of arguments.
• memoryview() Returns a memoryview object, which allows for efficient access to the data without copying it.
• min() Returns the smallest value in an iterable or series of arguments.
• next() Returns the next item from an iterator.
• oct() Returns a string holding the octal representation of the input integer prefixed with “0o”.
• open() Returns a file object whose type and allowed actions depend on the specified mode.
• ord() Returns an integer representing the Unicode code point of the character.
• pow() Returns the power of a given base raised to a specific exponent.
• print() Displays data as text on the screen or writes data into a file object.
• property() Returns a property object that allows controlled access and mutation of an instance attribute.
• repr() Returns a string that is a developer-friendly representation of the input object.
• reversed() Returns an iterator that yields the elements of the input iterable in reverse order.
• round() Returns a number rounded to the specified number of decimal places.
• setattr() Modifies the input object by setting the specified attribute to the given value.
• slice() Returns a slice object that can be used to extract a portion of a sequence.
• sorted() Returns a new sorted list of the elements in the iterable.
• staticmethod() Returns a static method object that can be called on a class or its instances.
• sum() Returns the sum of the start value and the values in the input iterable from left to right.
• super() Returns a proxy object that delegates method calls to a parent or sibling class of the specified type.
• type() Returns the type of the input object or a new class object.
• vars() Returns a dictionary representing an object’s namespace or a dictionary of the local namespace similar to locals().
• zip() Returns an iterator of tuples, where the i-th tuple contains the i-th element from each of the argument iterables.
