python order code example

Example 1: python sort list in reverse

#1 Changes list
list.sort(reverse=True)
#2 Returns sorted list
sorted(list, reverse=True)

Example 2: 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 3: python sort

>>> student_tuples = [
...     ('john', 'A', 15),
...     ('jane', 'B', 12),
...     ('dave', 'B', 10),
... ]
>>> sorted(student_tuples, key=lambda student: student[2])   # sort by age
[('dave', 'B', 10), ('jane', 'B', 12), ('john', 'A', 15)]

Example 4: 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]

Example 5: sorting in python

python list sort()
