hash()
hash() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Returns the hash value of an object (if it has one). Hashable objects include int, str, tuple. The syntax is hash(object). Parameters: object — a hashable object. Returns: Integer hash. A typical example: hash("hello") # 1324053051704311553
hash(42) # 42
hash((1,2)) # 3713081631934410656. 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.
