functions

In Python, functions are an essential part of the language and provide a way to encapsulate reusable blocks of code. Here are some built-in functions in Python along with examples:

1. print() – Displays output to the console.
   • print("Hello, World!")
2. len() – Returns the length of an object.
   • fruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
   • print(len(fruits)) # Output: 3
3. input() – Reads user input from the console.
   • name = input("Enter your name: ")
   • print("Hello, " + name + "!")
4. range() – Generates a sequence of numbers.
   • for num in range(5):
   • print(num) # Output: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
5. type() – Returns the type of an object.
   • x = 5
   • print(type(x)) # Output: <class 'int'>
6. str() – Converts an object into a string representation.
   • num = 10 num_str = str(num)
   • print(num_str) # Output: "10"
7. sum() – Returns the sum of elements in an iterable.
   • numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
   • total = sum(numbers)
   • print(total) # Output: 15
8. sorted() – Returns a new sorted list from an iterable.
   • fruits = ["orange", "banana", "apple"]
   • sorted_fruits = sorted(fruits)
   • print(sorted_fruits) # Output: ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
9. max() and min() – Returns the maximum and minimum values from an iterable.
   • numbers = [5, 3, 9, 1, 7]
   • max_num = max(numbers)
   • min_num = min(numbers)
   • print(max_num, min_num) # Output: 9 1
10. abs() – Returns the absolute value of a number
    • x = -5
    • abs_value = abs(x)
    • print(abs_value) # Output: 5

These are just a few examples of built-in functions in Python. Python provides a rich library of functions for various purposes. Additionally, you can define your own functions to perform custom operations and tasks.
