Last update on December 21 2024 07:24:57 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

'builtins' module provides direct access to all 'built-in' identifiers of Python.
Write a Python program that imports the abs() function using the builtins module, displays the documentation of the abs() function and finds the absolute value of -155.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import builtins 
help(builtins.abs)
print(builtins.abs(-155))

Sample Output:

Help on built-in function abs in module builtins:

abs(x, /)
    Return the absolute value of the argument.
