459 PointsMy sort works but still I get a 'Bummer, Try again'
from operator import itemgetter
fruit_list = [ ('apple', 2), ('banana', 5), ('coconut', 1), ('durian', 3), ('elderberries', 4) ]
sorted_fruit = sorted(fruit_list,key = itemgetter(1));
print sorted_fruit;
Expected output is to sort based on the second value in each tuple. Input fruit_list = [ ('apple', 2), ('banana', 5), ('coconut', 1), ('durian', 3), ('elderberries', 4) ]
Output [('coconut', 1), ('apple', 2), ('durian', 3), ('elderberries', 4), ('banana', 5)]
I get the following output but the online editor seems to be throwing an error and tell me 'Bummer! Try again'. Any reason why this happens ? Am I understanding the question wrongly ?
from operator import itemgetter
fruit_list = [
('apple', 2),
('banana', 5),
('coconut', 1),
('durian', 3),
('elderberries', 4)
]
sorted_fruit = sorted(fruit_list,key = itemgetter(1));
print sorted_fruit;

3,758 PointsYou have a semi colon at the end of your last two lines. This is not needed. The print function needs parenthesis.
sorted_fruit=sorted(fruit_list, key=itemgetter(1)) print(sorted_fruit)
