Built In Functions For List
There are some built-in functions in Python that we can
use on lists.
These are:
len()
max()
min()
sum()
sorted()
list()
any()
all()
The len( ) Function
Returns the number of items in the list
Example:
fruits=["apple","banana","orange",None]
print(len(fruits))
Output:
4
The max( ) Function
Returns the greatest item present in the list
Example:
nums=[5,2,11,3]
print(max(nums))
Output:
11
Guess The Output ?
months=["january","may","december"]
print(max(months))
Output:
may
Guess The Output ?
booleans=[False,True]
print(max(booleans))
Output:
True
Guess The Output ?
mynums=[1.1,1.4,0.9]
print(max(mynums))
Output:
1.4
Guess The Output ?
mynums=[True,5,False]
print(max(mynums))
Output:
5
Guess The Output ?
mynums=[0.2,0.4,True,0.5]
print(max(mynums))
Output:
True
Guess The Output ?
mynums=["True",False]
print(max(mynums))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
values=[10,"hello",20,"bye"]
print(max(values))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
fruits=["apple","banana","orange"]
print(max(fruits))
Output:
Orange
Guess The Output ?
fruits=["apple","banana","orange",None]
print(max(fruits))
Output:
The min( ) Function
Returns the least item present in the list
Example:
nums=[5,2,11,3]
print(min(nums))
Output:
2
Guess The Output ?
months=["january","may","december"]
print(min(months))
Output:
december
The sum( ) Function
Returns the sum of all the items present in the list .
However items must be of Numeric or boolean type
Example:
nums=[10,20,30]
print(sum(nums))
Output:
60
Guess The Output ?
nums=[10,20,30,True,False]
print(sum(nums))
Output:
61
Guess The Output ?
nums=['1','2','3']
print(sum(nums))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
nums=[2.5,3.5,4.5]
print(sum(nums))
Output:
10.5
The sorted( ) Function
Returns a sorted version of the list passed as argument.
Example:
nums=[7,4,9,1]
print(sorted(nums))
print(nums)
Output:
Guess The Output ?
months=["january","may","december"]
print(sorted(months))
Output:
[“december”,”january”,”may”]
Guess The Output ?
months=["january","may","december",3]
print(sorted(months))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
values=[2.4,1.0,2,3.6]
print(sorted(values))
Output:
[1.0,2,2.4,3.6]
Guess The Output ?
values=["bhopal","bhop","Bhopal"]
print(sorted(values))
Output:
[“Bhopal”,”bhop”,”bhopal”]
Sorting In Descending Order
To sort the list in descending order , we can pass the
keyword argument reverse with value set to True to
the function sorted( )
Example:
nums=[3,1,5,2]
print(sorted(nums,reverse=True))
Output:
The list( ) Function
The list( ) function converts an iterable i.e tuple , range,
set , dictionary and string to a list.
Syntax:
list(iterable)
Example:
city="bhopal"
x=list(city)
print(x)
Output:
Guess The Output ?
n=20
x=list(n)
print(x)
Output:
Guess The Output ?
n="20"
x=list(n)
print(x)
Output:
Guess The Output ?
t=(10,20,30)
x=list(t)
print(x)
This is a
Output: tuple
The any( ) Function
The any( ) function accepts a List as argument and
returns True if atleast one element of the List is True. If
not, this method returns False. If the List is empty, then
also it returns False
Syntax:
list(iterable)
Example:
x = [1, 3, 4, 0]
print(any(x))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
x = [0, False]
print(any(x))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
x = [0, False, 5]
print(any(x))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
x= []
print(any(x))
Output:
The all( ) Function
The all( ) function accepts a List as argument and returns
True if all the elements of the List are True or if the
List is empty .If not, this method returns False.
Syntax:
list(iterable)
Example:
x = [1, 3, 4, 0]
print(all(x))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
x = [0, False]
print(all(x))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
x = [1,3,4,5]
print(all(x))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
x = [0, False, 5]
print(all(x))
Output:
Guess The Output ?
x= []
print(all(x))
Output:
