How to solve TypeError: ‘builtin_function_or_method’ object is not subscriptable ?

Refer the given methods to solve the issue.

To invoke a built-in function, use parentheses. Function calls are distinguished from other actions that can be performed on some objects, such as indexing, by the use of parentheses.

If you try to invoke a built-in function using square brackets, you’ll get the “TypeError: ‘builtin function or method’ object is not subscriptable” problem.

This issue occurs because Python considers square brackets to be a method of obtaining elements from an iterable object. Functions must be referenced with parenthesis. To resolve this issue, use parenthesis when calling a function.

Example :

The expression list.pop is a legitimate Python expression that returns a reference to the pop function but does not invoke it. To invoke the method, you must include the open and close parenthesis.

Modify the operation similar to the code given below.

listb.pop()[0]

Hope the above solution works.
