QUESTION 2: (2.5 points Write the definition of a function named sortMyList(inputList, isAsc0 given an input list (as list type) and ascending/descending option (as bool type) that returns a new sorted list. You are not allowed to use any sort related list methods or built-in functions. Duplicate items can remain in the sorted list, if there are any. E.g. MyList 13,5, 12,1,5], Tru should return [1,3,5,5,12]. sortMyList(3,5, 12, 1,50, False) should return [12,5,5,3,1]. Hint: This method can be implemented in many ways. One way is to use min or max() list function to access items of interest one by one and use appendO,extendo) list functions or operator.

Explanation / Answer

def compare(item1, item2):
    return (fitness(item1) < fitness(item2))

def fitness(item):

    return item[0]+item[1]+item[2]+item[3]+item[4]

sorted(mylist, is Asc)

or

sorted(mylist, key=fitness)

or

sorted(mylist, is Asc, key=fitness)

or

sorted(mylist, cmp=lambda x,y: Asc(x,y))
