Python: Print the documents of Python built-in function(s)

Python Basic: Exercise-11 with Solution

Write a Python program to print the documents (syntax, description etc.) of Python built-in function(s).

Sample function: abs()

Python Docstring:

A docstring is a string literal that occurs as the first statement in a module, function, class, or method definition. Such a docstring becomes the __doc__ special attribute of that object.

All modules should normally have docstrings, and all functions and classes exported by a module should also have docstrings. Public methods (including the __init__ constructor) should also have docstrings.

Sample Solution:-

>>> print(abs.__doc__)

Return the absolute value of the argument.

>>> print(list.__doc__)

list() -> new empty list

list(iterable) -> new list initialized from iterable's items
