Built-in Functions in Python
We know that there are two types of functions in Python: built-in functions and user-defined functions. Built-in functions are those functions whose functionality is predefined by Python and are always accessible.
Python interpreter has several built-in functions that are present for use. When we use a Python interpreter, we may use a variety of predefined functions provided by the Python standard library that are easily accessible.
We do not need to import required module for them. We can call them by name. A module is a collection of built-in functions that have bundled together to create a library of information.
In this tutorial, we have listed various Python in-built functions in the alphabetical order. You click on the link and understand all of the functions one by one.
| Built-in Functions | Description |
|---|---|
| abs() | This function returns the absolute value of a specified number, which is the (positive) distance between x and zero. |
| aiter() | This function returns an asynchronous iterator for an asynchronous iterable. |
| all() | This function returns True if all elements of the iterable or if the iterable is empty are true. |
| any() | This function returns True if any element of the iterable is true. Else false if the iterable is empty. |
In this tutorial, you have known about various built-in functions in Python standard library. Hope that you will have understood the basic points of all built-in functions and practiced all example programs in each function tutorial.
Thanks for reading!!!
