Python: Sort a given mixed list of integers and strings
Python List: Exercise - 138 with Solution
Write a Python program to sort a given mixed list of integers and strings. Numbers must be sorted before strings.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def sort_mixed_list(mixed_list):
int_part = sorted([i for i in mixed_list if type(i) is int])
str_part = sorted([i for i in mixed_list if type(i) is str])
return int_part + str_part
mixed_list = [19,'red',12,'green','blue', 10,'white','green',1]
print("Original list:")
print(mixed_list)
print("\nSort the said mixed list of integers and strings:")
print(sort_mixed_list(mixed_list))
Sample Output:
Original list: [19, 'red', 12, 'green', 'blue', 10, 'white', 'green', 1] Sort the said mixed list of integers and strings: [1, 10, 12, 19, 'blue', 'green', 'green', 'red', 'white']

Python: Tips of the Day
Given a predicate function, fn, and a prop string, this curried function will then take an object to inspect by calling the property and passing it to the predicate:
Example:
def tips_check_prop(fn, prop): return lambda obj: fn(obj[prop]) check_age = tips_check_prop(lambda x: x >= 25, 'age') user = {'name': 'Owen', 'age': 25} print(check_age(user))
