Asked about Lists, dictionaries and sets
What is the difference between sorted(x) and x.sort()?
An answer that works
sorted returns a new sorted list and leaves the original alone. .sort() sorts the list in place and returns None. Assigning the result of .sort() to a variable is a common bug, because you get None.
