Listing All (67) Python Built In Functions

Python has many functions that are built-in to the language, which means you don't need to write them yourself or import them.

Python built-in functions are used to perform a specific task on strings, lists, dictionaries, tuples, sets, and other objects.

These functions discussed in this article are available in Python3.

This list of built-in functions available in this article is as follows:

1. Python abs() Function

The abs() function returns the absolute value of a number. It turns a negative number into a positive number

It takes a single argument, a number, and returns the absolute value of that number.

The argument can be an integer or a floating point number.

a = abs(-10)
print(a) # 10

print(abs(5/3)) # 1.6666666666666667
print(abs(5.4)) # 5.4
print(abs(-5.4)) # 5.4

Output:

10
1.6666666666666667
5.4
5.4

2. Python all() Function

The all() function checks if all the elements of a sequence are true or if the sequence is empty. If yes then it returns True otherwise False.

It takes a single argument, a sequence, and returns True if all the elements of the sequence are true (or if the sequence is empty).

num = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(all(num)) # True

# change one number to 0
# boolean value of 0 is False
num[3] = 0
print(all(num)) # False

# check for an empty list
num = []
print(all(num)) # True

Output:

True
False
True

3. Python any() Function

The any() function returns True if any of the elements of a sequence is true or the sequence is empty. If no element is true then it returns False.

If any of the elements has a boolean value of True then the function returns True otherwise False.

num = [False, 0, '']
print(any(num)) # False

# change one number to 1
# boolean value of 1 is True
num[2] = 1
print(any(num)) # True

# check for an empty list
num = []
print(any(num)) # False

Output:

False
True
False

4. Python ascii() Function

Output:

0b1
0b101
0b1001
-0b1

6. Python bool() Function

Every data type has a boolean value means it can be represented as True or False.

The bool() function converts any data type into its boolean value. Example 0, False, [], (), {}, '', None, are all converted into False whereas any other data type will be converted into True.

print(bool(0))
print(bool(False))
print(bool([]))
print(bool(()))
print(bool({}))
print(bool(''))
print(bool(None))

A set is an unordered collection of items. Every element is unique (no duplicates) and must be immutable (cannot be changed).

However, the set itself is mutable. We can add or remove items from it.

my_set = set("Books")
print(my_set)

Output:

{'B', 'o', 'k', 's'}

57. Python setattr() Function

The setattr() function sets the value of the specified attribute of the specified object.

p1 = Person()
print(f"Before - Name: {p1.name}")
print(f"Before - Age: {p1.age}")

# Set the age of the person to 40
setattr(p1, "age", 40)
print(f"After - Age: {p1.age}")

# Create a new attribute
setattr(p1, "salary", 60000)
print(f"Salary: {p1.salary}")

Output:

Before - Name: John

my_string = "Python is fun!"
print(slice(1, 5, 2))
print(my_string[slice(1, 14, 2)])

list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Output:

slice(1, 5, 2)
yhni u!
[2, 4]

59. Python sorted() Function

The sorted() function returns a sorted list from the elements of the given iterable.

The sorted() function does not change the original list.

If you do not specify any parameters, the default sort order is ascending, lowest to highest.

It accepts two parameters:

iterable - a sequence (string, tuple, list) or collection (set, dictionary, frozen set) or any iterator
reverse (optional) - If true, the sorted list is reversed (or sorted in Descending order)

my_list = [5, 2, 3, 1, 4]
print(sorted(my_list))

my_list = [5, 2, 3, 1, 4]
print(sorted(my_list, reverse=True))

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

60. Python staticmethod() Function

The staticmethod() function returns a static method for a function.

A static method does not require a class instance creation. So, it is not necessary to create a class instance before calling the static method.

To declare a static method, use the @staticmethod decorator.

class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    @staticmethod
    def greet():
        print("This is a static method.")

# Call the static method
Person.greet()

Output:

This is a static method.

61. Python str() Function

The str() converts the specified value into a string.

It can be used to convert other data types like integers, floats, booleans, objects, etc into strings.

# integer to string
print(str(10))
# float to string
print(str(3.14))
# boolean to string
print(str(True))
# dictionary to string
print(str({"name": "John", "age": 36}))

Output:

10
3.14
True
{'name': 'John', 'age': 36}

62. Python sum() Function

The sum() function adds the items of an iterable and returns the sum.

You can pass the start parameter to it as a second argument. If start is not provided, 0 is taken as the default start value.

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(sum(my_list))

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(sum(my_list, 10))

Output:

15
25

63. Python super() Function

The super() function returns an object that represents the parent class.

By using the super() function, you do not have to use the name of the parent element, it will automatically inherit the methods and properties from its parent.

For example, if you have a class named Person and you want to create a class named Student, which inherits the properties and methods from Person, you can use the super() function to inherit all the methods and properties from its parent.

class Person:
    def __init__(self, fname, lname):
        self.firstname = fname
        self.lastname = lname

    def printname(self):
        print(f"{self.firstname} {self.lastname}")
        
class Student(Person):
    def __init__(self, fname, lname):
        super().__init__(fname, lname)

x = Student("John", "Doe")
x.printname()

Output:

John Doe

64. Python tuple() Function

The tuple() function converts an iterable (list, string, set, dictionary) to a tuple.

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(tuple(my_list))

my_string = "Hello World"
print(tuple(my_string))

my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
print(tuple(my_set))

Output:

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
('H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd')
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

65. Python type() Function

The type() function returns the type of the specified object.

You can pass any object (string, number, list, dictionary, etc.) to the type() function, and it will return the type of the object.

print(type("Hello World"))
print(type(20))
print(type(20.5))
print(type(["apple", "banana", "cherry"]))
print(type(("apple", "banana", "cherry")))

Output:

<class 'str'>
<class 'int'>
<class 'float'>
<class 'list'>
<class 'tuple'>

66. Python vars() Function

The vars() function returns the __dict__ property of the specified object.

The __dict__ property contains the object's properties.

class Person:
      name = "John"
      age = 36

print(vars(Person))

Output:

{'__module__': '__main__', 'name': 'John', 'age': 36, '__dict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'Person' objects>, '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' of 'Person' objects>, '__doc__': None}

67. Python zip() Function

The zip() function takes iterables (can be zero or more), aggregates them in a tuple, and return them.

If you do not pass any parameter, zip() returns an empty iterator.

my_list = [1, 2, 3]
your_list = [10, 20, 30]

zip_obj = zip(my_list, your_list)
print(list(zip_obj))

Output:

[(1, 10), (2, 20), (3, 30)]
