Standard Python Functions

Python has a large number of built-in/standard functions that perform a variety of tasks, such as calculating the square root of a number or finding the length of a list.

Here are a few examples of standard Python functions:

• abs() : Returns the absolute value of a number
• all() : Returns True if all elements of an iterable are True , and False otherwise
• any() : Returns True if any element of an iterable is True , and False otherwise
• bin() : Converts an integer to a binary string
• bool() : Converts a value to a Boolean ( True or False )
• chr() : Returns the character corresponding to an ASCII code
• dir() : Returns a list of attributes and methods of an object
• enumerate() : Returns an enumerate object that contains pairs (index, element) for each element in a list
• filter() : Filters elements from an iterable based on a function
• float() : Converts a value to a floating-point number
• format() : Formats a string
• hex() : Converts an integer to a hexadecimal string
• int() : Converts a value to an integer
• len() : Returns the length of an object
• max() : Returns the largest element of an iterable
• min() : Returns the smallest element of an iterable
• oct() : Converts an integer to an octal string
• ord() : Returns the ASCII code of a character
• pow() : Returns the result of raising a number to a power
• repr() : Returns a string representation of an object
• sorted() : Returns a sorted list from an iterable
• sum() : Returns the sum of the elements of an iterable
• type() : Returns the type of an object
• divmod() : returns the quotient and remainder of a division operation
• hex() : returns the hexadecimal representation of an integer
• oct() : returns the octal representation of an integer
• pow() : returns the result of raising a number to a specified power
• round() : returns a number rounded to a specified number of decimal places
• format() : formats a specified value
• repr() : returns a printable representation of an object
• tuple() : returns a tuple object constructed from an iterable
• set() : returns a set object constructed from an iterable
• frozenset() : returns a frozen set object constructed from an iterable
• dict() : returns a dictionary object constructed from an iterable
• chr() : returns a character for a specified Unicode code point
• ord() : returns the Unicode code point for a specified character
• isinstance() : returns True if an object is an instance of a specified class or type
• issubclass() : returns True if a class is a subclass of a specified class

This is just a small selection of the built-in functions that Python provides.
