Python: Built-in Functions vs. For & If Loops – 5 Programs Explained

Image
Python’s built-in functions make coding fast and efficient. But understanding how they work under the hood is crucial to mastering Python. This post shows five Python tasks, each implemented in two ways: Using built-in functions Using for loops and if statements ✅ 1. Sum of a List ✅ Using Built-in Function: numbers = [ 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 ] total = sum (numbers) print ( "Sum:" , total) 🔁 Using For Loop: numbers = [ 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 ] total = 0 for num in numbers: total += num print ( "Sum:" , total) ✅ 2. Find Maximum Value ✅ Using Built-in Function: values = [ 3 , 18 , 7 , 24 , 11 ] maximum = max (values) print ( "Max:" , maximum) 🔁 Using For and If: values = [ 3 , 18 , 7 , 24 , 11 ] maximum = values[ 0 ] for val in values: if val > maximum: maximum = val print ( "Max:" , maximum) ✅ 3. Count Vowels in a String ✅ Using Built-ins: text = "hello world" vowel_count = sum ( 1 for ch in text if ch i...

How to Delete an Item from a Set in Python: Best Example

Set is a built-in data type in Python. Furthermore, it is an unordered collection without duplicate items. Here are the two methods that explain to delete an item from a Set.

Methods to delete an item from a Set

  • discard
  • remove



Discrd Vs. Remove


  • discard() will not raise an error if the item to remove does not exist.
  • The remove() will raise an error if the item does not exist.


Remove items from Set


Explanation to discard and remove methods


Python program:

#Prints all the Set items

food = {"pasta", "burger", "hot dog", "pizza"}

print(food)


# Prints the Set items without pasta

food.discard("pasta")

print(food)


# Prints the Set items without burger and pasta

food.remove("burger")

print(food)


# The next two lines try to remove an item that isn't in the set!

food.discard("pasta")  # this will not report an error

food.remove("pasta")   # this will report an error


The output:

{'pasta', 'burger', 'pizza', 'hot dog'}

{'burger', 'pizza', 'hot dog'}

{'pizza', 'hot dog'}

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "main.py", line 12, in <module>

    food.remove("pasta")   # this will report an error

KeyError: 'pasta'
