I want to arrange the below list in sorted format like Z-A order...but my code is throwing error. An-CodePudding

lst=['rocky','parkour','boy','is','a','zoo']
lst_sorted=[]
while len(lst)>0:
    for i in range(len(lst)):
        if(lst[i]==max(lst):
            lst_sorted.append(max(lst))
            lst.remove(max(lst))
print(lst_sorted)
print(lst)

Output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 6, in IndexError: list index out of range

CodePudding user response：

You're removing items from the list after you determine the 'range' of len(lst). So your shrinking the list as you go through it.

If it's easier, in python you can just do list(reversed(sorted(lst)))

lst = 'rocky', 'parkour', 'boy', 'is', 'a', 'zoo']
print(list(reversed(sorted(lst))))
# Output: ['zoo', 'rocky', 'parkour', 'is', 'boy', 'a']

lst=['rocky','parkour','boy','is','a','zoo']
lst_sorted=[]
while len(lst)>0:
            lst_sorted.append(max(lst))
            lst.remove(max(lst))
print("Revese sorted",lst_sorted)
