Where did the list go? outofplace_list = [3, 1, 2] sorted(outofplace_list) -print(outofplace_list[0]) # You may expect 1, but it will print 3 +print(outofplace_list) # The list still isn't sorted. Why? ``` To avoid these errors and unexpected results, it is required to assign the result of `sorted(...)` to a new variable and use `list.sort()` method in the original list. This way, the original list will be sorted and the new list will be created with the sorted elements. |
