Hello Dears,<= /span>

1)I am trying to do this:
=A0

>>> dir(_builtins_)

It's __builtins__ not _builtins_=A0 (double underscores at each end not single underscores)

=A0

I am getting this:

T= raceback (most recent call last):

=A0= File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>

=A0=A0=A0 dir(_b= uiltins_)

NameError: name '_builtins_' is not defined

=A0

2)I am trying to do this:
=A0

>>> 'TTA',_add_('GGA')

To call a method use "." not ",".=A0=A0 And the method you are trying= to call is __add__ not _add_.=A0 But why... just do "TTA"+"GGA"

=A0=

I=92am getting this=A0= :

T= raceback (most recent call last):

=A0= File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>

=A0=A0=A0 'TTA',_add_('GGA')

NameError: name '_add_' is not defined

=A0

3)I am trying to do this:
=A0

>>> -3 =A0.a= bs()

abs is a function not a method.=A0 do: abs(-3)

=A0=

I=92am getting this

Traceback (most recent call last):

=A0 File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>

=A0=A0=A0 -3 .ab= s()

A= ttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'abs'

<= o:p>=A0

4) finally, after printing

=A0

>>>abs._doc_()

Again, use double underscores abs.__doc__()

=A0

I am getting this (and so on)=A0:

T= raceback (most recent call last):

=A0= File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>

=A0= =A0=A0 abs._doc_()

A= ttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute '_doc_'<= br>
What did I do wrong=A0? Thanks for help, Marcus Luetolf, M.D., 90 Bondastreet, CH-7000 Chur, Switzerland.
