ord()

Theory

175/268

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

ord() — output — 65. Opposite of chr(65).

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

Exam tip

Call ord() once and say what prints.

# ord()
print(ord("A"))

ord() — output: 65. Opposite of chr(65).
