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: 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 3: sort python
>>> x = [1 ,11, 2, 3]
>>> y = sorted(x)
>>> x
[1, 11, 2, 3]
>>> y
[1, 2, 3, 11]
Example 4: python sort algorithm
a = [1, 2, 0, 8, 4, 5, 3, 7, 6]
print(a.sort())
Example 5: 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 6: pyhton built in sort
arr = [ 1, 3, 2]
arr.sort()
