Python beginners must master 25 built-in functions, recommended collection

input() Function: let the user input a string...

input()

Function: let the user input a string of characters from the console, press enter to end the input and return the string

Note: many beginners think it can return numbers, but it's wrong!

>>> line = input("Enter a number:") Enter a number: 1 >>> line '1' # < -- see clearly, this is not a number, just a string # If you add directly >>> line + 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str # The correct method is to convert line into number first >>> int(line) + 1 2

print()

Function: after converting parameters into strings, output them to the console

>>> print("hello", "world") hello world # Many people don't know that other characters can be inserted between parameters >>> print("hello", "world", sep="~") hello~world # You can even let each parameter occupy one line >>> print("hello", "world", sep="\n") hello world

set()

Function: construct a collection. A common method is to pass the list into set() and then turn it into a list to eliminate the duplication of the list.

>>> set([1, 2, 3, 3]) # This enables weight removal >>> list(set([1, 2, 3, 3])) [1, 2, 3]

str()

Function: converts an object into a string. It is often used to splice strings and numbers.

For example, an error will be reported:

>>> 'My Score is: ' + 100 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

So use str to convert:

>>> 'My Score is: ' + str(100) 'My Score is: 100'

chr(i)

Function: returns the character corresponding to the integer i, which is often used to generate the alphabet.

>>> chr(20013) 'in' >>> chr(97) 'a' # Cooperate with ord() to generate the alphabet >>> [chr(ord('a') + i) for i in range(26)] ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']

ord()

Function: returns the decimal value corresponding to the character in the coding table

>>> ord('in') 20013 >>> ord('a') 97 # Cooperate with chr() to generate the alphabet >>> [chr(ord('a') + i) for i in range(26)] ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']

bool()

Function: judge the Boolean value of an object and return True or False

bool(1) => True bool(0) => False bool([]) => False

Note: this function is rarely used in actual projects. It is only used as a test tool to let beginners understand the Boolean state of each object.

int()

Function: convert any binary string into an integer.

int('2') => 2 int('1010', 2) => 10 # Binary 1010 to integer 10

Description: pass in the second parameter to specify the hexadecimal type of parameter 1.

bin()

Function: convert integer to binary string

bin(2) => '0b10' bin(10) => '0b1010'

Note: why is there a 0b in front of the string? Because this is the standard way of writing, starting with 0b means that the next number is binary.

oct()

Function: convert hexadecimal to octal string

oct(7) => '0o7' oct(8) => '0o10'

hex()

Function: convert decimal to hexadecimal string

>>> hex(11) '0xb' >>> hex(16) '0x10'

abs()

Function: take absolute value

>>> abs(-1) 1

divmod()

Function: return the quotient and remainder in the division operation at the same time, which is equivalent to one operation and get the results of a//b and a% b at the same time.

>>> divmod(1, 2) (0, 1) >>> divmod(4, 3) (1, 1)

round()

Function: rounds a floating-point number

>>> round(1.3333) 1 >>> round(1.3333, 2) # 2 means to keep 2 decimal places 1.33

pow(x, y[, z])

Function: if only x and Y parameters are filled in, the Y power of X is returned. If the z parameter is filled in, take the module again, which is equivalent to pow (x, y)% z.

>>> pow(10, 2) 100 # amount to >>> 10**2 100 >>> pow(10, 2, 3) 1 # amount to >>> 10**2 % 3 1

sum(iterable)

Function: sum all elements of array iterable.

>>> sum([1, 2, 3]) 6

min(x, y, z, ...)

Function: returns the minimum number of all parameters

>>> min(1, 2, 3) 1 # You can also pass in an array >>> min([1, 2, 3]) 1

max(x, y, z, ...)

Function: similar to min(), return the maximum number of all parameters

list()

Function: create a list when the incoming parameter is empty; When the incoming parameter is not empty, the parameter is converted to a list

>>> list() [] # When not empty >>> list('hello world') ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'] # Try importing the dictionary >>> list({'a': 1, 'b': 2}) ['a', 'b']

tuple()

Function: almost as like as two peas, list, but list returns an array, and tuple returns tuples.

dict()

Function: construct dictionary

# Method 1: >>> dict(a=1, b=2) {'a': 1, 'b': 2} # Method 2: >>> dict(zip(['a', 'b'], [1, 2])) {'a': 1, 'b': 2} # Method 3: >>> dict([('a', 1), ('b', 2)]) {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

len()

Function: returns the length of the object or the number of elements

>>> len([1, 2]) 2 >>> len({'a': 1, 'b': 2}) 2 >>> len('hello') 5

reversed()

Function: invert the list.

Note: the returned is not a list, but an iterator.

>>> reversed([1, 2, 3]) <list_reverseiterator object at 0x1016190a0> # Need to convert to list >>> list(reversed([1, 2, 3])) [3, 2, 1] # The same is true for strings >>> reversed('abc') <reversed object at 0x1015ffd90> >>> list(reversed('abc')) ['c', 'b', 'a']

enumerate()

Function: used to traverse objects. In normal traversal, such as for el in array, you can only get elements, not subscripts. You can use enumerate().

>>> for i, el in enumerate('abc'): ... print(i, el) ... 0 a 1 b 2 c

How does this subscript work? For example, it can be used to modify the elements in the array in reverse:

>>> alphabet = ['a', 'b', 'c'] >>> for i, el in enumerate(alphabet): ... alphabet[i] = el.upper() ... >>> alphabet ['A', 'B', 'C']

filter(func, iterable)

Function: filter and return qualified elements

Note: an iterator is returned.

>>> alphabet = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'E', 'F', 'G'] >>> filter(lambda e: e.isupper(), alphabet) <filter object at 0x1016190a0> >>> list(filter(lambda e: e.isupper(), alphabet)) ['E', 'F', 'G']
