Sort() in Python Examples
A basic example of Python sort() method.
Example : In this example the below code defines a list named unsorted_list
with numeric elements. The sort()
method is then applied to the list, which rearranges its elements in ascending order. The sorted list is then printed, showing the result of the sorting operation.
Python3
unsorted_list = [ 2 , 4 , 5 , 32 , 6 , 255 , 5 , 42 ] unsorted_list.sort() print ( "Now it is sorted:" , unsorted_list) |
Output:
Now it is sorted: [2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 32, 42, 255]
