memoryview()
memoryview() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Returns a memoryview object from any object that supports the buffer protocol. The syntax is memoryview(object). Parameters: object — an object with buffer protocol. Returns: Memoryview object. A typical example: mv = memoryview(b"hello")
mv[0] # 104 (ord("h"))
mv[1:3].tobytes() # b"el". 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.
