Question

Write a short note about sort( ).

Answer 1

Function : Sort ()
Syntax:
List.sort( reverse=True | False, key=my Func)

• Both arguments are optional.
• If the reverse is set as True, list sorting is in descending order.
• Ascending is the default.

Sort () function sorts the elements in the list

Example:

MyList=[‘Thilothamma’, ‘Tharani’, ‘Anitha’, ‘SaiSree’, ‘Lavanya’]
MyList.sort()
print(MyList)
MyList.sort(reverse=True)
print(MyList)
Output:
[‘Anitha’, ‘Lavanya’, ‘SaiSree’, ‘Tharani’, ‘Thilothamma’]
[‘Thilothamma’, ‘Tharani’, ‘SaiSree’, ‘Lavanya’, ‘Anitha’]
