# Built-in Functions and Standard Library

## Built-in Functions

* abs(x)
* all(s)
* any(s)
* ascii(x)
* bin(x)
* bool(\[x])
* breakpoint()
* bytearray(\[x])
* bytearray(s, encoding)
* bytes(\[x])
* bytes(s, encoding)
* callable(obj)
* chr(x)
* classmethod(func)
* compile(string, filename, kind)
* complex(\[real \[, imag]])
* delattr(object, attr)
* dict(\[m]) or dict(key1=value1, key2=value2, ...)
* dir(\[object])
* divmod(a, b)
* enumerate(iter, start=0)
* eval(expr, \[, globals \[, locals]])
* exec(code \[, globals \[, locals]])
* filter(function, iterable)
* float(\[x])
* format(value \[, format\_spec])
* `frozenset([iterms])`
  * Type representing an immutable set object populated with values taken from `items` which must be an iterable. The values must also be immutable. If no argument is given, an empty set is returned. A `frozenset` supports all of the operations found on `sets` except for any operations that mutate a set in-place.
* getattr(object, name \[, default])
* globals()
* hasattr(object, name)
* hash(object)
* hex(x)
* id(object)
* input(\[prompt])
* int(x \[, base])
* isinstance(object, classobj)
* issubclass(class1, class2)
* iter(object, \[, sentinel])
* len(s)
* list(\[items])
* locals()
* map(function, items, ...)
* max(s \[, args, ...], \*, default=obj, key=func)
* min(s \[, args, ...], \*, default=obj, key=func)
* next(s \[, default])
* object()
* oct(x)
* open(filename \[, mode \[, bufsize \[, encoding \[, errors \[, newline \[, closefd]]]]]])
* ord(c)
* pow(x, y \[, z])
* print(value, ..., \*, sep=separator, end=ending, file=outfile)
* property(\[fget \[, fset \[, fdel \[, doc]]]])
* range(\[start,] stop \[,step])
* repr(object)
* reversed(s)
* round(x \[, n])
* set(\[items])
* setattr(object, name, value)
* slice(\[start,] stop \[, step])
* sorted(iterable, \*, key=keyfunc, reverse=reverseflag)
* staticmethod(func)
* str(\[object])
* sum(items \[, initial])
* super()
* tuple(\[items])
* type(object)
* vars(\[object])
* zip(\[s1 \[, s2 \[, ...]]])

## Built-in Exceptions

### Exception Base Classes

* `BaseException`
  * The root class for all exceptions. All built-in exceptions are derived from this class.
* `Exception`
  * The base class for all program-related exceptions. That includes all built-in exceptions except for SystemExit, GeneratorExit, and KeyboardInterrupt. User-defined exceptions should inherit from Exception.
* `ArithmeticError`
  * The base class for arithmetic exceptions, including `OverflowError`, `ZeroDivisionError`, and `FloatingPointError`.
* `LookupError`
  * The base class for indexing and key errors, including `IndexError` and `KeyError`.
* `EnvironmentError`
  * The base class for errors that occur outside Python. Is a synonym for `OSError`.

For example:

```python
try:
    x = 1 / 0
except ArithmeticError as e:
    print('Math is wrong.')
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ret2basic.gitbook.io/ctfnote/computer-science/python/built-in-functions-and-standard-library.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
