Step-by-Step Explanation
List Initialization:
- my_list = [7, 2, 9, 4]
This creates a list with the elements [7, 2, 9, 4] and assigns it to the variable my_list.
- my_list = [7, 2, 9, 4]
Using the .sort() Method:
- my_list.sort() sorts the list in place, meaning it modifies the original list directly and does not return a new list.
- The .sort() method returns None, which is a special Python value indicating that no meaningful value was returned.
So, when you assign the result of my_list.sort() back to my_list, you are overwriting the original list with None.
Printing the Result:
- print(my_list) will print None because the variable my_list now holds the return value of the .sort() method, which is None.
