Welcome to Coding 101 - It's the TWiT show that gives YOU the knowledge to live in the wonderful world of the programmer. This week we are introducing our newest module, Python with Code Warrior Dale Chase!

To see all the code used in today's episode, go to Our Github Repository for Module 2

The way we've been printing lists is to use a "for loop" to print everything within the list:

podcasters = ['Leo','Lisa','Padre', 'Snubs', 'Bryan', 'OMGchad']

for entries in range (0,6):

- print podcasters[entries]

If we JUST wanted to know the contents of the list:

mylist = [142, 512, 'dog', 'cat', 'bird', 123]

print mylist

Sorting the List

SortMe = [1, 23, 6, 4, 99]

for entries in range (0,5):

- print SortMe[entries]

raw_input ("Press Enter")

SortMe.sort();

for entries in range (0,5):

- print SortMe[entries]

NON-DESTRUCTIVE SORTING

podcasters = ['Leo','Lisa','Padre', 'Snubs', 'Bryan', 'OMGchad', 1234]

print podcasters

print "Woot, let's sort!"

sortedpodcasters = sorted(podcasters)

raw_input("Press Enter to Continue")

print podcasters

print sortedpodcasters

podcasters = ['Leo','Lisa','Padre', 'Snubs', 'Bryan', 'OMGchad', 1234]

print sorted(podcasters)

Tuples

twit_tuples = [

('Padre', 'TWiET', 72),

('Snubs', 'C101', 22),

('Bryan', 'KnowHow', 6),

]

print twit_tuples

Sorting Tuples

twit_tuples = [

('Padre', 'TWiET', 72),

('Snubs', 'C101', 22),

('Bryan', 'KnowHow', 6),

]

print sorted(twit_tuples, key=lambda twit: twit[2])
