Example 1: how do i sort list in python
my_list = [9, 3, 1, 5, 88, 22, 99]
# sort in decreasing order
my_list = sorted(my_list, reverse=True)
print(my_list)
# sort in increasing order
my_list = sorted(my_list, reverse=False)
print(my_list)
# another way to sort using built-in methods
my_list.sort(reverse=True)
print(my_list)
# sort again using slice indexes
print(my_list[::-1])
# Output
# [99, 88, 22, 9, 5, 3, 1]
# [1, 3, 5, 9, 22, 88, 99]
# [99, 88, 22, 9, 5, 3, 1]
# [1, 3, 5, 9, 22, 88, 99]
Example 2: python sort list in reverse
#1 Changes list
list.sort(reverse=True)
#2 Returns sorted list
sorted(list, reverse=True)
Example 3: python sort list
# sort() will change the original list into a sorted list
vowels = ['e', 'a', 'u', 'o', 'i']
vowels.sort()
# Output:
# ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
# sorted() will sort the list and return it while keeping the original
sortedVowels = sorted(vowels)
# Output:
# ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
Example 4: how to sort list python
a_list = [3,2,1]
a_list.sort()
Example 5: how to manually sort a list in python
Numbers = []
iterate = 0
while len(Numbers)<5:
try:
x = int(input("Insert the number you want in the list: "))
Numbers.append(x)
except:
print("The input MUST be a number.")
continue
for iteration_count in range(len(Numbers)):
#This acts like a counting method
for j in range(0,len(Numbers)-1):
#It swaps each element for each iteration (j is just a random variable)
if (Numbers[j]>Numbers[j+1]):
Numbers[j],Numbers[j+1] = Numbers[j+1],Numbers[j]
print(f"Here are the sorted numbers:{Numbers}")
Example 6: python sort
nums = [4,8,5,2,1]
#1 sorted() (Returns sorted list)
sorted_nums = sorted(nums)
print(sorted_nums)#[1,2,4,5,8]
print(nums)#[4,8,5,2,1]
#2 .sort() (Changes original list)
nums.sort()
print(nums)#[1,2,4,5,8]
