print('y = ', abs(y))

Output:

x = 20

y = 23.2

ord ( ) : Returns the ASCII value for the given Unicode character. This function is inverse of chr() function.

Sytanx:

ord (c)

print ('A = ',ord (d))

Output:

c = 97

A = 65

chr ( ) : Returns the Unicode character for the given ASCII value. This function is inverse of ord() function.

Syntax:

chr (i)

bin ( ) : Returns a binary string prefixed with “0b” for the given integer number.

Note: format () can also be used instead of this function.

Syntax:

bin (i)

Example:

x=15
y=101
print ('15 in binary : ',bin (x))
print ('101 in binary : ',bin (y))

Output:

15 in binary : 0b1111

101 in binary : 0b1100101

min ( ) : Returns the minimum value in a list.

Syntax:

min (list)
