python #sort tuple code example

Example: how to sort tuples in python

# If you have a tuple, first convert it to a list:

a = (3,1,2)
a = list(a)

# And now you can just use the inbuilt function ( .sort() ):
a.sort()
print(a)
>>> [1,2,3]

# ^ by using .sort() you are modifying the original list / tuple, however
# if you want to make a sorted copy of the list / tuple, then you use this:

a = [3, 6, 8, 2, 78, 1, 23, 45, 9]
print(sorted(a))

>>> [1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 23, 45, 78]

# This also works with the alphabet or a combination between letters and
# numbers.
