𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙥 𝙄𝙉𝙁𝙄𝙉𝙄𝙏𝙀𝙇𝙔: snu.socratica.com/python Sorting is a fundamental task in software engineering. In Python, there are a variety of ways to sort lists, tuples, and other objects. Today we talk about the sort() method which is an in-place algorithm for sorting lists. We also cover the sorted() function which can be used on more objects, and creates a sorted copy, leaving the original object unchanged.

We were able to make this Python video with the help of our Patrons on Patreon! We would like to recognize the generosity of our VIP Patrons Matt Peters, Andrew Mengede, Martin Stephens, and Markie Ward. Thank you so much for helping us continue our work!
