python sortable list code example

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

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]
