Python Exercise 3

"Accept a series of number inputs, and output them in order."

This exercise was relatively simple. Rather than use the built in string sort function, I decided to perform a simple sort by copying the max value per iteration to a new array. It's not the most efficient way of doing things, but it works.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
print "Input values until you are done. Enter any non-int character to stop adding values."
varList = list()
varNewList = list()

try:
varFinished = "false"

while varFinished != "true":
val = raw_input("Number: ")
try:
val = int(val)
varList.append(val)
except:
varFinished = "true"

varFinished = "false"

while varFinished != "true":
varTemp = varList[0]

for item in varList:
print "loop 2"
if item < varTemp: varTemp = item varNewList.append(varTemp) varList.remove(varTemp) print (len(varList)) print (len(varNewList)) if (len(varList))==0: varFinished = "true" print "the ordered #s: " for item in varNewList: print (item) except: print "Errored."
