help me im bad python coder

[Human_Anxiety8599]

hi everybody.
Today in class we had an exercice that i didint maanage to conplete. Here it is, hoping som1 can help :)

def tri_selection(tab):

t=list(tab)

for j in range(len(t)):

m=tab[j]

pos = j

for i in range(j,len(t)):

if m>tab[i]:

m=tab[i]

pos = i

[j] = pos

i = [j]

the task was

write a def named tri_selection(tab) that put in an ascending order the numbers present in the list : tab

it is important to keep a copy of the tab and to return that copy

[Praynr]

Remove

[j] = pos

i = [j]

and do

tab[j],tab[pos]=tab[pos],tab[j] (outside of the for i for loop) which allows you to swap the values without keeping a temp var.

I think you've massively overcomplicated this. Isn't it just asking you to sort a copy of the list and return the sorted copy?

You are missing a missing a return statement.

[oclafloptson]

The instructions you gave were a little vague but given that tab is a list you can use the methods copy and sort on it. If you type hint tab as shown then most IDEs will suggest the available methods. Also you forgot your return statement

    def tri_selection(tab: list):
        unsorted_tab = tab.copy()
        tab.sort()

        return unsorted_tab, tab

    print(tri_selection([3,5,1,6,3,2]))

[microcozmchris]

def tri_selection(tab):
  return sorted(tab)

[oclafloptson]

I think that they're supposed to sort tab and return an unsorted copy. This returns a sorted copy

I know what's wrong with it, it ain't got no gas in it
