python has a built-in function ord(), I think it must be a anbbreviation. Just like another built-in function chr(), which is an abbreviation of the word “character”. Does anyone know the word that built-in function ord() abbreviate for?
It’s an abbreviation for “ordinal”. Ordinal numbers are counting numbers — i.e., 1, 2, 3.
ord()converts the character into its (countable) position in the character set.
