1
00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:11,040
Congratulations.

2
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:14,460
You've learned how to get Python to sort sequences for you.

3
00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:17,145
The sorted function handles all the details

4
00:00:17,145 --> 00:00:20,245
you just have to specify the desired sort order.

5
00:00:20,245 --> 00:00:24,590
You should now be able to invoke the sorted function to sort any sequence,

6
00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:28,925
you should be able to specify low to high or high to low sorting.

7
00:00:28,925 --> 00:00:32,900
Using the reverse parameter and you should be able to specify a property to

8
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:38,845
sort by using a key function. It's joke time.

9
00:00:38,845 --> 00:00:42,740
I'm sure you've heard some rags to riches stories about the guy who started

10
00:00:42,740 --> 00:00:47,080
out working in the company mail room and eventually became the CEO.

11
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,750
Well, this one has a little twist.

12
00:00:49,870 --> 00:00:52,880
It's Jerry's first day at the company and he's

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,580
assigned to the mail room he's given the task sort

14
00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:58,220
the incoming mail and Jerry sorted

15
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:02,240
the letters so fast that his motions were literally a blur,

16
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,530
the supervisor was very impressed.

17
00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:07,870
At the end of the day, the supervisor approached Jerry and says,

18
00:01:07,870 --> 00:01:11,690
"I just want you to know that I'm very pleased with the job you did today,

19
00:01:11,690 --> 00:01:15,085
you're one of the fastest workers we've ever had."

20
00:01:15,085 --> 00:01:17,280
"Oh! Thank you sir, " said Jerry. "

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,430
[inaudible] and tomorrow I'll try to do even better."

22
00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:24,955
Better how is that even possible?

23
00:01:24,955 --> 00:01:30,244
Jerry replied, "Tomorrow I'm going to read the addresses."

24
00:01:30,244 --> 00:01:35,520
We'll, see you next time when we sort dictionaries and learn how to break ties.
