How do I sort lists in Python in pure Python?

In Python, you can sort lists using the built-in sort() method or the sorted() function. The sort() method sorts the list in place and returns None, while sorted() returns a new sorted list from the elements of any iterable.

Here are some examples of how to use both methods:


# Example using sort()
numbers = [5, 2, 9, 1, 5, 6]
numbers.sort()
print(numbers)  # Output: [1, 2, 5, 5, 6, 9]

# Example using sorted()
numbers = [5, 2, 9, 1, 5, 6]
sorted_numbers = sorted(numbers)
print(sorted_numbers)  # Output: [1, 2, 5, 5, 6, 9]
