eval()
eval() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Evaluates a string as a Python expression and returns the result. The syntax is eval(expression, globals=None, locals=None). Parameters: expression — string to evaluate. Returns: Result of the expression. A typical example: eval("2 + 3 * 4") # 14
eval("pow(2, 10)") # 1024. A close sibling is print(), which prints objects to the text stream, separated by `sep` and followed by `end`. A close sibling is len(), which returns the length (number of items) of an object. Works with sequences, collections, and strings. A close sibling is range(), which returns an immutable sequence of numbers. Commonly used in for loops. A close sibling is type(), which returns the type of an object, or creates a new type with three arguments.
