hash()

Theory

194/268

hash() is built into Python. You do not import it. Freshers only need one honest call and the printed result — not a long definition.

hash() — output — True. hash returns an int. Same string hashes equal in one run.

Wrong type often raises TypeError. Empty values matter for bool/all/any. Don’t mix hash up with a similar name (sorted vs sort, int vs float).

Exam tip

Call hash() once and say what prints.

# hash()
print(isinstance(hash("Asha"), int))

hash() — output: True. hash returns an int. Same string hashes equal in one run.
