vars()

Theory

184/268

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

vars() — output — {'name': 'Asha'}. vars shows instance __dict__.

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

Exam tip

Call vars() once and say what prints.

# vars()
class S:
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = "Asha"
print(vars(S()))

vars() — output: {'name': 'Asha'}. vars shows instance __dict__.
