"Formally, we call such type-specific functionalities **methods** (i.e., as opposed to functions) and we look at them in detail in [Chapter 10 <img height=\"12\" style=\"display: inline-block\" src=\"../static/link/to_nb.png\">](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/webartifex/intro-to-python/blob/develop/10_classes/00_content.ipynb). For now, it suffices to know that we access them with the **dot operator** `.` on the object. Of course, `b` is a whole number, which the boolean object `True` tells us."
