Hello users, I'm quite new to python programming. I need help in manually sorting a list which is shuffled. The problem i'm facing is with respect to last element in the list when checking the condition using if statement. Below I have pasted my code. The code is below is not yet done, at first I am trying to separate the number as lower and higher. I just need help here.
import random, pdb pdb.set_trace() unordered=range(10) random.shuffle(unordered) ordered=[] print "The unordered selection of list is\n",unordered,"\n" unordered_len=len(unordered) higher=[] lowest=[] a=1 for i in unordered: if i<unordered[a]: lowest.append(i) a+=1 elif i > unordered[a]: higher.append(i) a+=1 print "\n\n\nLowest",lowest print "\n\nHighest",higher When I run the program, I get the error message as, line 16, in <module> if i<unordered[a]: IndexError: list index out of range I know that the error is happening because when variable 'i' comes to the last element in the unordered list, it doesnt have anyother variable for checking the condition if i<unordered[a]: . But i'm not able to handle this condition in the code. So someone please help in this regards. Thanks, Manjunath
