python sort list in place
# Basic syntax: your_list.sort() # Example usage: your_list = [42, 17, 23, 111] your_list.sort() print(your_list) --> [17, 23, 42, 111] # If you have a list of numbers that are of type string, you can do the # following to sort them numerically without first converting to type # int. E.g.: your_list = ['42', '17', '23', '111'] your_list.sort(key=int) print(your_list) --> ['17', '23', '42', '111'] # If you want to sort a list of strings in place based on a number # that is consistently located at some position in the strings, use # a lambda function. E.g.: your_list =['cmd1','cmd10', 'cmd111', 'cmd50', 'cmd99'] your_list.sort(key=lambda x: int(x[3:])) print(your_list) --> ['cmd1', 'cmd10', 'cmd50', 'cmd99', 'cmd111'] # If you don't want to sort the list in place, used sorted. E.g.: your_list = [42, 17, 23, 111] your_list_sorted = sorted(your_list) print(your_list_sorted) --> [17, 23, 42, 111]
