Impara Built-in Functions | What is a Function in Python?

Built-in functions in Python are predefined functions that are readily available for use in any Python program without requiring additional specifications or definitions. One of these built-in functions is the print() function, which we have already used. We didn't need to define this function, write its body, or specify the return value; we simply called it and provided inputs. There are many built-in functions in Python. Let's consider some of the most commonly used ones:

print(): Outputs a specified message or variable to the console.


              1
            
print("My message")

len(): Returns the number of elements in an object, such as a string, list, or tuple.


              12
            
word = "Codefinity"
print("Word length:", len(word))

sum(): Computes the total of a sequence of numbers.


              12
            
numbers = [5, 2, 3]
print("Sum of numbers:", sum(numbers))

max() and min(): Return the maximum or minimum value from a sequence.


              123
            
numbers = [5, 2, 3]
print("The largest among the numbers:", max(numbers))
print("The smallest of the numbers:", min(numbers))

You might already be familiar with these functions, or perhaps not. The key in this chapter is to understand the difference between built-in functions and those you create yourself.
