Hello,
When I used sort() to do that, but my problem is that sort() just arrange
numbers from small to big, not from big to small. That is the issue I am having
now. For instance:
# The user is entering those numbers:a = 2.7b = 4.7c= 5.8d = 7.9# I will like
the answer to be like this: 7.9 5.8 4.7 2.7
#but if I use sort(), I will have that answer, but I do not want that:2.7 4.7
5.8 7.9
Thank you!
You need reverse=True on the call to sort.
You can find this out by:-
1. Using the interactive interpreter help, e.g.
>>> l = [2.7, 4.7, 5.8, 7.9]
>>> help(l.sort)
Help on built-in function sort:
sort(*, key=None, reverse=False) method of builtins.list instance
Stable sort *IN PLACE*.
None
2. clicking `index` to the top right of https://docs.python.org/3/, then
`s` then `(list method)` under `sort`.
3. using your favourite search engine.
