Python: Sort a given mixed list of integers and strings using lambda
Python Lambda: Exercise-47 with Solution
Write a Python program to sort a given mixed list of integers and strings using lambda. Numbers must be sorted before strings.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
def sort_mixed_list(mixed_list):
mixed_list.sort(key=lambda e: (isinstance(e, str), e))
return mixed_list
mixed_list = [19,'red',12,'green','blue', 10,'white','green',1]
print("Original list:")
print(mixed_list)
print("\nSort the said mixed list of integers and strings:")
print(sort_mixed_list(mixed_list))
Sample Output:
Original list: [19, 'red', 12, 'green', 'blue', 10, 'white', 'green', 1] Sort the said mixed list of integers and strings: [1, 10, 12, 19, 'blue', 'green', 'green', 'red', 'white']
