What are the Built-in functions in Python ?

Built-in Functions In Python - Letter A

Let's see few important built-in functions in Python.

Starting alphabetically we will go through the functions beginning with character "a":

• abs(x)

         abs(x) returns the absolute value of a number. Arguments it takes can be anything like an                    integer or a floating point number. all(iterable)

• all(iterable)

          all(iterable) returns  True if all elements of the iterable are true .

                             

                                        def all(iterable):

                                                    for element in iterable:

                                                         if not element:

                                                               return False

                                                   return True

• any(iterable)

         any(iterable) will return True if any element of the iterable is true. But if the iterable is empty, it          will return False. 

                                        def any(iterable):

                                                   for element in iterable:

                                                      if element:

                                                           return True

                                            return False

• ascii(object)

         We  know that repr(), returns a string containing a printable representation of an object, but                   escape the non-ASCII characters in the string returned by repr()using \x, \u or \U escapes. It                 generates a string similar to that returned by repr().

In the next post we will see Built - in functions starting from letter "B" .
