Operations that can be performed in Python / Inbuilt functions in Python / Python Documentation n

The first place to see what Python is capable of out of the box is to familiarize yourself with the Documentation.

What is the Python documentation?

Thedocumentationexplains how a softwareoperates or how to use it.

If you are a beginner this will make little sense but as you progress, your understanding should increase. I would advise regularly going back to the documentation.

A good way to read about a function in Python is to google:library nametutorial

Functions in Python

All inbuilt functions in Pythonhttps://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html

Name Description Code Related to
abs() Returns the absolute value of a number

Python

print(abs(-5))

Output

5 		 
all() Returns false if there is a false or a zero in a list,tuple or dictionary

Python

print(all([0,1,1]))

Output

False 		 
any()

Returns True if there is a True in a list,tuple or dictionary

*The opposite of all()

Python

print(all([True, False, False]))

Output

True 		 
ascii() Returns any non-ascii characters with escape characters

Python

print(ascii("å"))

Output

\e5 		 
bin() Returns the binary version of an integer

Python

print(bin(50))

Output

0b110010 		 
bool()

Returns true unless

The object is empty, like [], (), {}
The object is False
The object is 0
The object is None

Python

print(bool(50))

Output

true 		 
callable() Returns true if a function is callable or false if a function is not callable 

Python

def x():   
a = 5
print(callable(x)) 

Output

true 		 
chr() Returns the character that represents the specified unicode

Python 

print(chr(97))

Output

a  		 
delattr() Function to delete a specified attribute from a specified object     
dict() Creates a dictionary    
dir() Returns a list of valid attributes of an object     
divmod() Returns a pair of numbers; the first is the quotient, the second is a remainder 

Python

print(divmod(8, 3))

Output 

(2,2)

3 goes into 8 two times with two remaining therefore (2,2)

  
enumerate() Returns an enumerate object along with an iterate 

Python

grocery = ['bread', 'milk', 'butter']
enumerateGrocery = enumerate(grocery)
print(list(enumerateGrocery))

Output

[(0, 'bread'), (1, 'milk'), (2, 'butter')] 		 
filter() Filters the given iterable with the help of a function that tests each element in the iterable to be true or not.

Python

# list of alphabets
alphabets = ['a', 'b', 'd', 'e']
# function that filters vowels
def filterVowels(alphabet):
    vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
    if(alphabet in vowels):
        return True
    else:
        return False
filteredVowels = filter(filterVowels, alphabets)
for vowel in filteredVowels:
    print(vowel)

Output

a
e 		 
eval() Returns the result of an expression 

Python

x = 1
print(eval('x + 1'))

Output

2

exec() executes the dynamically created program, which is either a string or a code object    
hasattr() returns true if an object has the given named attribute and false if it does not OOP    
help() calls the built-in Python help system    
hex() converts an integer number to the corresponding hexadecimal string    
hash() returns the hash value of an object if it has one    
input() * Reads a line from input, converts into a string and returns it    
id() turns identity (unique integer) of an object.    
isinstance() checks if the object (first argument) is an instance or subclass of classinfo class (second argument)    OOP

list() returns a list in Python.    
locals() returns a dictionary of the current local symbol table.    
len() returns the number of items (length) in an object.    
max() returns the largest item in an iterable. It can also be used to find the largest item between two or more parameters.    
min() returns the smallest item in an iterable. It can also be used to find the smallest item between two or more parameters.    
map() applies a given function to each item of an iterable (list, tuple etc.) and returns a list of the results.    
memoryview() returns a memory view object of the given argument.returns a memory view object of the given argument.    
next() returns the next item from the iterator.
