Python sorted() function

Published February 17, 2022

Python's sorted() method outputs a sorted list from an iterable object. The iterable object can be a tuple or a list.  This method always outputs a sorted  list or turple  without interfering with the original sequence

Syntax of the sorted()
The sorted() method is written as follows

sorted(iterable, key, reverse)

The sorted() function supports three parameters:
Iterable: An iterable is a sequence or collection that has to be sorted.
Key(optional): A key or basis for sort comparison.
Reverse(optional) : If true, the iterable would be sorted the reverse way, by default, false.

Example
 

a = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] print("The Returned Sorted List:"), print(sorted(a)) print("\n After Reverse sort :"), print(sorted(a, reverse=True)) print("\n Unsorted set :"), print(a)

Output

The Returned Sorted List: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]  After Reverse sort : [8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1] Unsorted set : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
