What is this code returning?

Question

#please explain me this code and tell me the use of dir() keyword.

def this_function_is_an_object(num):
return "Cheese is {} times better than everything else".format(num)

print(dir(this_function_is_an_object))

Answer 1

Dir lists all the methods and variables available for that object .

Here "this_function_is_an_object" is an object of class "function".

𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁: All those methods you see are of class " function" and base class "object" since function inherits the base class "object".
