Answer: Python Puzzler #1093

The answer is A. The program prints:

[41, 39, 21, 13, 11]
What the program prints
Checked by running the program for real.

Why?

sort() puts the list in order, smallest first. reverse=True flips it, so the biggest comes first. It changes the list itself.

The code again

scores = [13, 41, 39, 11, 21]
scores.sort(reverse=True)
print(scores)

Try it: change one number in the program and predict the new output before you run it.
