sorted or sort python code example
Example 1: sorted vs sort python
# The sort() function will modify the list it is called on.
# The sorted() function will create a new list
# containing a sorted version of the list it is given.
list = [4,8,2,1]
list.sort()
#--> list = [1,2,4,8] now
list = [4,8,2,1]
new_list = list.sorted()
#--> list = [4,8,2,1], but new_list = [1,2,4,8]
Example 2: sorted python
var = sorted(old_var)
