Common Operations¶
There are some functions which can be applied on all collections. Here we will see details related to list and set.* in – check if element exists
len– to get the number of elements.sorted– to sort the data (original collection will be untouched). Typically, we assign the result of sorting to a new collection.sum,min,max, etc – arithmetic operations.- There can be more such functions.
