Hi Ken,
As the message clearly says, the string object doesn't have an
attribute "sort". You are trying to join the inputs as a single
string,"line" and then you are trying to sort it. But, as you want the
string in the sorted format, you should sort it first and then convert
it into string, as follows.
number01 = "41"
number02 = "11"
number03 = "05"
number04 = "53"
number05 = "44"
list1 = [number01,number02,number03,number04,number05] # Creating a
list with the inputs
list1.sort() # sorting the input
print ''.join(list1) #making it again as a single string
Hope this helps. Happy coding.
Thanks,
Meena
Thanks, Meena, that is great! I changed your last line to:
print "".join(list1) and it came out as below:
0511414453
Another quotation mark was needed.
Again, thanks.
Ken
I appreciate all of everybody help.
Ken
