It worked, thanks. Is there a list of these functions somewhere?
Learn to use the dir() and help() functions in Python at the >>>
prompt.
dir(obj)
will show all the standard methods for that object.
For the math operators try dir(5) - or any other number, 5.0 for a
float etc.
The advantage of dir() is a nice short listing, easy to scan.
For a detailed description use the help function:
help(5)
Help on int object:
class int(object)
| int(x[, base]) -> integer
|
| Convert a string or number to an integer, if possible. A floating
point
| argument will be truncated towards zero (this does not include a
string
| representation of a floating point number!) When converting a
string, use
| the optional base. It is an error to supply a base when
converting a
| non-string. If the argument is outside the integer range a long
object
| will be returned instead.
|
| Methods defined here:
|
| __abs__(...)
| x.__abs__() <==> abs(x)
|
| __add__(...)
| x.__add__(y) <==> x+y
|
| __and__(...)
| x.__and__(y) <==> x&y
|
| __cmp__(...)
