Python: Remove existing indentation from all of the lines in a given text
Python String: Exercise-27 with Solution
Write a Python program to remove existing indentation from all of the lines in a given text.
Sample Solution:-
Python Code:
import textwrap
sample_text = '''
Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted,
dynamic programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes
code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express
concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such
as C++ or Java.
'''
text_without_Indentation = textwrap.dedent(sample_text)
print()
print(text_without_Indentation )
print()
Sample Output:
Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java.

Sorting a list of lists:
Consider we have a list of lists:
lst = [[3, 5], [6, 8], [4, 6], [5, 8], [6, 7], [5, 8]]
We can sort the list based on the first or second items of the inner lists by using the sort function with a lambda function.
lst.sort(key = lambda inner:inner[1]) print(lst)
Output:
[[3, 5], [4, 6], [6, 7], [6, 8], [5, 8], [5, 8]]
The list is sorted based on the second items. We can do the same with the first items just by changing the 1 to 0.
lst.sort(key = lambda inner:inner[0]) print(lst)
Output:
[[3, 5], [4, 6], [5, 8], [5, 8], [6, 8], [6, 7]]
