3.1.5.4 SECTION SUMMARY

Key takeaways

1. You can use the sort() method to sort elements of a list, e.g.:

lst = [5, 3, 1, 2, 4] print(lst) lst.sort() print(lst) # outputs: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

2. There is also a list method called reverse(), which you can use to reverse the list, e.g.:

lst = [5, 3, 1, 2, 4] print(lst) lst.reverse() print(lst) # outputs: [4, 2, 1, 3, 5]

Exercise 3

What is the output of the following snippet?

a = "A" b = "B" c = "C" d = " " lst = [a, b, c, d] lst.reverse() print(lst)
