Python: Sort each sublist of strings in a given list of lists

Python List: Exercise - 95 with Solution

Write a Python program to sort each sublist of strings in a given list of lists.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def sort_sublists(input_list):
    result = list(map(sorted, input_list)) 
    return result
color1 = [["green", "orange"], ["black", "white"], ["white", "black", "orange"]]
print("\nOriginal list:")
print(color1)  
print("\nAfter sorting each sublist of the said list of lists:")
print(sort_sublists(color1))

Sample Output: 

Original list:
[['green', 'orange'], ['black', 'white'], ['white', 'black', 'orange']]

After sorting each sublist of the said list of lists:
[['green', 'orange'], ['black', 'white'], ['black', 'orange', 'white']]

Python: Tips of the Day

Creates a list of elements, grouped based on the position in the original lists:

Example:

def tips_zip(*args, fill_value=None):
  	max_length = max([len(lst) for lst in args])
 	 result = []
  	for i in range(max_length):
   	 result.append([
      args[k][i] if i < len(args[k]) else fillvalue for k in range(len(args))
   	 ])
 	 return result
print(tips_zip(['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [True, False]))
print(tips_zip(['a'], [1, 2], [True, False]))
print(tips_zip(['a'], [1, 2], [True, False], fill_value = '1'))

Output:

[['a', 1, True], ['b', 2, False]]
[['a', 1, True], [None, 2, False]]
[['a', 1, True], ['1', 2, False]]
