Built-in Functions of Python
Python has a number of built-in functions which can be used in any script without any problem. They are always available for use. For example: print() function is one of the built-in functions that is used to print an object on the screen or any other standard output devices. A list in the form a table is provided below which briefly describes what each built-in function does.
