Python Built-in Functions

The Python interpreter has a number of functions and types built into it that are always available.

1. abs() Function

It returns the absolute value of a number.

print(x)

x = abs(-10.45)
print(x)

x = abs(- 10.95)
print(x)

x = abs(- 100)

10.95
100

2. round() Function

It rounds a number to the nearest integer.

print(x)

x = round(5.76543, 1)
print(x)

x = round(5.76543, 2)
print(x)

x = round(5.76543, 3)

y= str(10)
print(x+y)

Output:
3.54310

9. len() Function

Example:

It returns the number of items in an object.

mylist = [“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”]
x = len(mylist)
print (x)

mytuple = (10, 20, 30, 40, 5, 7.8, “ABCD”)
x = len(mytuple)
print (x)

myset = {10, “Orange”, “Banana”, 10.34, True}
x = len(myset)
print (x)

mydict = {“Age”: 40, “Name”: “Rama”}
x = len(mydict)
print (x)

mysrting =”India is My Country”
x = len(mysrting)
print (x)

Output:
3
7
5
2
19

10. type() Function

It returns the type of the specified object.

Example:

a = [“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”]
b= (10, 20, 30, 40, 5, 7.8, “ABCD”)
c= {10, “Orange”, “Banana”, 10.34, True}
d= {“Age”: 20, “Name”: “Venkat”}
e= “India”
f=123
g=12.34
h=False

print (type(a))
print (type(b))
print (type(c))
print (type(d))
print (type(e))
print (type(f))
print (type(g))
print (type(h))

Output:
<class ‘list’>
<class ‘tuple’>
<class ‘set’>
<class ‘dict’>
<class ‘str’>
<class ‘int’>
<class ‘float’>
<class ‘bool’>

11. max() Function

It returns the largest number.

Example:

x = max(1234, 523, 499, 2345)
print(x) # 2345

x = max(123.45, 123.455, 122.999)
print(x) # 123.455

12. min() Function

It returns the lowest number.

Example:

x = min(523, 499, 722, 123)
print(x) # 123

x = min(123.45, 123.455)
print(x) # 123.45

13. range() Function

It returns a sequence of numbers, starting from 0 by default, and increments by 1 (by default), and stops before a specified number.

Example:

n = range(5)

print(i)

Output:
0
1
2
3
4

# Create a sequence of numbers from 10 to 15, and print each item in the sequence:

n = range(10, 16)
for i in n:
print(i)

Output:
10
11
12
13
14
15

# Create a sequence of numbers from 10 to 101, but increment by 10 instead of 1.

n = range(10, 101, 10)
for i in n:
print(i)

Output:
10
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
90
100

for i in range (10, 0, -1):
print(i)

Output:
10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2

14. pow() Function

It returns the value of x to the power of y (x^y).

Example:

x = pow(10, 3)
print(x) #1000

x = (10 ** 3)
print(x) #1000

15. sum() Function

It returns a number, the sum of all items in an iterable.

Example:

val = (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)
x = sum(val)
print(x) #150

val = (10.5, 20.6, 30.7, 40, 50)
x = sum(val)
print(x) #151.8

16. print() Function

It prints the specified message to the screen or other standard output device.

Example:

a=10
b=20

print(“Hello Python”)
print(123)
print(12.21)
print(True)
print(a)
print(a+b)
print(“Addition of a, b is: “, (a+b))
print(“A value is: “, a, ” B value is: “, b)

mylist = [10, 20, 10.345, “India”]
print (mylist)

mytuple = (10, 20, 10.345, “India”)
print (mytuple)

myset = {10, 20, 10.345, “India”}
