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))

Output:

True
