Answer: Python Puzzler #908

The answer is D. The program prints:

[2, 15, 39, 46, 48]
What the program prints
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 = [39, 15, 46, 2, 48]
scores.sort()
print(scores)

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