Answer from AI

Python provides many built-in functions for working with data and data types. Here are some of the main ones:

  • type(obj) — returns the type of an object.
  • len(obj) — the length of an object (list, string, dictionary, etc.).
  • int(), float(), str() — type conversions.
  • list(), dict(), set(), tuple() — create corresponding collections.
  • isinstance(obj, classinfo) — checks if an object belongs to a specific type.
  • sorted(iterable) — returns a sorted list.
  • sum(iterable) — sum of elements.
  • min(), max() — minimum and maximum values.
  • enumerate(iterable) — returns pairs of index and value.
  • zip(*iterables) — combines multiple iterable objects.

Example:

numbers = [1, 3, 2]
print(sorted(numbers))  # [1, 2, 3]
print(sum(numbers))     # 6
print(isinstance(numbers, list))  # True
