Answer: Python Puzzler #3077

The answer is A. The program prints:

[5, 11, 19, 27, 38, 46]

This answer was checked by running the program for real.

Why?

sort() puts the list in order, smallest first. It changes the list itself.

The code again

scores = [5, 27, 19, 38, 11, 46]
scores.sort()
print(scores)

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