sort in python

Python .sort() / .sorted()
.sort() Sort modifies the list directly.
names = ["Xander", "Buffy", "Angel", "Willow", "Giles"]
names.sort()
print(names)
# ['Angel', 'Buffy', 'Giles', 'Willow', 'Xander']

.sort() also provides us the option to go in reverse easily. 
Instead of sorting in ascending order, we can do so in descending order.
names = ["Xander", "Buffy", "Angel", "Willow", "Giles"]
names.sort(reverse=True)
print(names)
# ['Xander', 'Willow', 'Giles', 'Buffy', 'Angel']

.sorted()  generates a new list instead of modifying 
one that already exists.

names = ["Xander", "Buffy", "Angel", "Willow", "Giles"]
sorted_names = sorted(names)
print(sorted_names)
# ['Angel', 'Buffy', 'Giles', 'Willow', 'Xander']

python sort algorithm

a = [1, 2, 0, 8, 4, 5, 3, 7, 6]
print(a.sort())

sort python

>>> x = [1 ,11, 2, 3]
>>> y = sorted(x)
>>> x
[1, 11, 2, 3]
>>> y
[1, 2, 3, 11]

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]

pythonn sort example

gList = [ "Rocket League", "Valorant", "Grand Theft Autu 5"]
gList.sort()
# OUTPUT --> ['Grand Theft Auto 5', 'Rocket League', 'Valorant']
# It sorts the list according to their names

how to use sort in python

words = ["apple","pear","red"]
numbers = [4,2,7,5]
#Parameters:
#key: changes how it sorts the list, For Example: letters.sort(key=len) Sorts by length
#Reverse: Default: sorts in ascending order, if Reverse is True: sorts descending order
words.sort(key=len)
>["red","pear","apple"]
numbers.sort(reverse=True)
>[7,5,4,2]
#sort: changes the list so it is sorted
#sorted: returns the sorted list

how to sort in python

a=[1,6,10,2,50,69,3]
print(sorted(a))

python sort() and sorted()

a=[2,2,4,1]
b=a
a.sort()
// a now points to object [1,2,2,4]
c=sorted(b)
//c and b also points to [1,2,2,4] 
// sort works on array only but sorted also on strings but return array of char
s="sjndk"
print(sorted(s))
// prints ['d', 'j', 'k', 'n', 's']
// sorted also works on list of strings(sorts alphabetically)
