sorted()
sorted() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Returns a new sorted list from the items in an iterable. The syntax is sorted(iterable, *, key=None, reverse=False). Parameters: iterable — sequence to sort. Returns: New sorted list. A typical example: sorted([3, 1, 2]) # [1, 2, 3]
sorted("cba") # ["a", "b", "c"]
sorted([-1, 2, -3], key=abs) # [-1, 2, -3]. A close sibling is print(), which prints objects to the text stream, separated by `sep` and followed by `end`. A close sibling is len(), which returns the length (number of items) of an object. Works with sequences, collections, and strings. A close sibling is range(), which returns an immutable sequence of numbers. Commonly used in for loops. A close sibling is type(), which returns the type of an object, or creates a new type with three arguments.
