len()

text = "Python"
print(len(text)) # Output: 6

type()

x = 10
print(type(x)) # Output: <class 'int'>

range()

for i in range(5):
print(i)

2️⃣ Math & Number Functions


abs()

print(abs(-10)) # Output: 10

max() / min()
numbers = [5, 10, 2]
print(max(numbers)) # 10
print(min(numbers)) # 2

sum()

numbers = [1, 2, 3]
print(sum(numbers)) # 6
round()

print(round(3.456, 2)) # 3.46

3️⃣ String Functions


upper() / lower()
text = "Python"
print([Link]())
print([Link]())

strip()

text = " hello "


print([Link]())

replace()

text = "I like Java"


print([Link]("Java", "Python"))

split()

text = "Python is easy"


print([Link]())

4️⃣ List Functions

fruits = ["apple", "banana"]


[Link]("orange")
print(fruits)

insert()

[Link](1, "grape")

remove()

[Link]("banana")

sort()

numbers = [3, 1, 2]
[Link]()
print(numbers)

5️⃣ Dictionary Functions


keys() / values()
data = {"name": "Alex", "age": 25}
print([Link]())
print([Link]())

get()

print([Link]("age"))

6️⃣ Tuple & Set Functions


count() (Tuple)
t = (1, 2, 2, 3)
print([Link](2))

add() (Set)
s = {1, 2, 3}
[Link](4)
print(s)

7️⃣ File Handling Functions


open()

file = open("[Link]", "w")


[Link]("Hello Python")
[Link]()

read()

file = open("[Link]", "r")


print([Link]())

8️⃣ User-Defined Functions


Function without arguments
def greet():
print("Hello")

greet()

Function with arguments


def add(a, b):
return a + b
print(add(5, 3))

9️⃣ Lambda (Anonymous) Functions


add = lambda a, b: a + b
print(add(4, 6))

🔟 Useful Utility Functions


enumerate()

fruits = ["apple", "banana"]


for index, value in enumerate(fruits):
print(index, value)

zip()

names = ["A", "B"]


marks = [90, 85]
print(list(zip(names, marks)))
