The dir () function syntax in Python

 dir([object])

Parameters of function dir ()

Dir () only returns results for one object.

object: object that gets dir () returns a list of attributes, optional parameters.

Return value from dir ()

Dir () will return a list of valid attributes of the object.

If the object has __dir __ () function, when calling dir will return all the properties.

If the object does not have __dir __ () then the function will try to find through __dict __ () (if any). In this case, the list of properties returned from dir () may be incomplete.

If you don't pass the object to dir () , it will return the property within the current local scope.

Example 1: How does the dir () function work?

 number = [1, 2, 3] 
 print(dir(number)) 
  
 print('nGia tri tra ve tu dir() khong truyen object') 
 print(dir())

Run the program, the result is:

 ['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__', '__dir__', '__doc__', 
 '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__gt__', '__hash__', 
 '__iadd__', '__imul__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__iter__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', 
 '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__reversed__', 
 '__rmul__', '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'append', 
 'clear', 'copy', 'count', 'extend', 'index', 'insert', 'pop', 'remove', 'reverse', 'sort']

 ['__annotations__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', 
 '__spec__', 'number']

 

Example 2: dir () with user defined object

 class Person: 
 def __dir__(self): 
 return ['age', 'name', 'salary'] 
 
 teacher = Person() 
 print(dir(teacher))

Run the program, the result is:

 ['age', 'name', 'salary']
