Comprehensive Guide to Python Built-in Functions with Examples

The article enumerates all 66 built-in functions provided by Python, offering a brief description of each function's behavior and a short code example that illustrates its typical usage.

Example: abs(x) returns the absolute value of a number.

x = -10
print(abs(x))  # 输出:10

Example: all(iterable) returns True if every element in the iterable is true, otherwise False.

iterable = [True, True, False]
print(all(iterable))  # 输出:False

Example: any(iterable) returns True if any element in the iterable is true, otherwise False.

iterable = [False, False, True]
print(any(iterable))  # 输出:True

Similar concise explanations and code snippets are provided for functions such as bin, bool, bytearray, bytes, callable, chr, classmethod, compile, complex, delattr, dict, dir, divmod, enumerate, eval, exec, filter, float, format, frozenset, getattr, globals, hasattr, hash, help, hex, id, input, int, isinstance, issubclass, iter, len, list, locals, map, max, memoryview, min, next, object, oct, open, ord, pow, print, property, range, repr, reversed, round, set, setattr, slice, sorted, staticmethod, str, sum, super, tuple, type, vars, and zip, each accompanied by a short illustrative snippet.
