Python – Extract Sorted Strings

When it is required to extract sorted strings, a list comprehension and the ‘sorted’ method is used.

Example

Below is a demonstration of the same −

my_list = ["pyt", "Fdf", "Fun"]

print("The list is :")
print(my_list)

my_result = [element for element in my_list if ''.join(sorted(element)) == element]

print("The result is :")
print(my_result)

Output

The list is :
['pyt', 'Fdf', 'Fun']
The result is :
['Fdf']

Explanation

• A list is defined and displayed on the console.

• A list comprehension is used to iterate over the list, and every element is sorted ad checked to see if it is equal to the current element, and then the 'join' method is used.

• This result is assigned to a variable.

• This is the output that is displayed on the console.
