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']
