Python: Sort numbers based on strings

Python Programming Puzzles: Exercise-41 with Solution

Write a Python program to sort numbers based on strings.

Input:  six one four one two three
Output:
one two three four six

Input:  six one four three two nine eight
Output:
one two three four six eight nine

Input:  nine eight seven six five four three two  one
Output:
one two three four five six seven eight nine

Pictorial Presentation:

Python: Sort numbers based on strings.

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

#License: https://bit.ly/3oLErEI

def test(strs):
    return ' '.join([x for x in 'one two three four five six seven eight nine'.split() if x in strs])
strs = "six one four one two three"
print("Original string:",strs)
print("Sort numbers based on said strings:")
print(test(strs))
strs = "six one four three two nine eight"
print("\nOriginal string:",strs)
print("Sort numbers based on said strings:")
print(test(strs))
strs = "nine eight seven six five four three two  one"
print("\nOriginal string:",strs)
print("Sort numbers based on said strings:")
print(test(strs))

Sample Output:

Original string: six one four one two three
Sort numbers based on said strings:
one two three four six

Original string: six one four three two nine eight
Sort numbers based on said strings:
one two three four six eight nine

Original string: nine eight seven six five four three two  one
Sort numbers based on said strings:
one two three four five six seven eight nine

Flowchart:

Flowchart: Python - Find string s that, when case is flipped gives target where vowels are replaced by chars two later.

Sample Solution-2:

Python Code:

#License: https://bit.ly/3oLErEI

def test(strs):
    nums = 'zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero one one one one one one one one one one one one two two two two three three three three three four four four four four four five five five five five five five six six six six six six six seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine'.split()
    return " ".join([nums[i] for i in sorted([nums.index(x) for x in strs.split()])]).rstrip()

strs = "six one four one two three"
print("Original string:",strs)
print("Sort numbers based on said strings:")
print(test(strs))
strs = "six one four three two nine eight"
print("\nOriginal string:",strs)
print("Sort numbers based on said strings:")
print(test(strs))
strs = "nine eight seven six five four three two zero one"
print("\nOriginal string:",strs)
print("Sort numbers based on said strings:")
print(test(strs))

Sample Output:

Original string: six one four one two three
Sort numbers based on said strings:
one one two three four six

Original string: six one four three two nine eight
Sort numbers based on said strings:
one two three four six eight nine

Original string: nine eight seven six five four three two zero one
Sort numbers based on said strings:
zero one two three four five six seven eight nine
