Answer 1

Given list:

x = [86 ,23, 45, 67, 89, 90, 23, 45, 67]

a) [23, 23, 45, 45, 67, 67, 86, 89, 90]

b)

• [67, 23, 89, 45, 86]
• [86 ,23, 45, 67, 89, 90, 23, 45, 67]

c)

• [67, 89, 90, 23, 45, 67, 86, 23, 45]
• [86, 23, 45, 67, 89, 90, 23, 45, 67]

d) [86, 23, 45, 67]

e) [90, 23, 45, 67]

• sort() is a method that sorts the elements in ascending/descending order.
• del is a command that deletes elements from the list.
