How do I sort lists in Python safely and idiomatically?

Sorting lists in Python can be done safely and idiomatically using built-in methods such as sorted() and the list.sort() method. These methods are easy to use and follow Python's conventions for clear and readable code.

Example of Sorting Lists in Python


    # Example list
    numbers = [5, 2, 9, 1, 5, 6]
    
    # Using the sorted() function
    sorted_numbers = sorted(numbers)
    print("Sorted using sorted():", sorted_numbers)
    
    # Using the sort() method
    numbers.sort()
    print("Sorted using sort():", numbers)
