Python: Sort a given positive number in descending/ascending order
Python List: Exercise - 214 with Solution
Write a Python program to sort a given positive number in descending/ascending order.
Descending -> Highest to lowest.
Ascending -> Lowest to highest
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def test_dsc(n):
return int(''.join(sorted(str(n), reverse = True)))
def test_asc(n):
return int(''.join(sorted(list(str(n))))[::1])
n = 134543
print("Original Number: ",n);
print("Descending order of the said number: ", test_dsc(n));
print("Ascending order of the said number: ", test_asc(n));
n = 43750973
print("\nOriginal Number: ",n);
print("Descending order of the said number: ", test_dsc(n));
print("Ascending order of the said number: ", test_asc(n));
Sample Output:
Original Number: 134543 Descending order of the said number: 544331 Ascending order of the said number: 133445 Original Number: 43750973 Descending order of the said number: 97754330 Ascending order of the said number: 3345779

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))
