# Signatureos.cpu_count()
It returns the following values.
int: This refers to the number of CPUs in a system as an integer value.None: None is returned if the number of CPUs is undetermined.Let's take a look at a code example.
# Program for os.cpu_count()# import os moduleimport os# Extract CPUs countCPUs = os.cpu_count()# print resultsprint("Total CPUs count:", CPUs)
In the code snippet above, we invoke the cpu_count() from the OS module to extract the count of CPUs.
cpu_count() to get either the CPUs in the system as an integer value or None.
