Python Coding challenge - Day 466| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 Code Explanation:

Original List:

data = [(1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2)]

This is a list of 3 tuples. Each tuple has two integers.

Sorting Logic:

sorted(data, key=lambda x: x[1])

The sorted() function returns a new sorted list without changing the original.

The key argument tells Python how to compare the elements.

lambda x: x[1] means: for each tuple x, use the second element (x[1]) as the sorting key.

Sorting in Action:

Let's evaluate the second elements:

(1, 3) → 3

(3, 1) → 1

(2, 2) → 2

Now, sort based on these values: 1, 2, 3

So the sorted order becomes:

[(3, 1), (2, 2), (1, 3)]

Output:

print(sorted_data)

This prints:

[(3, 1), (2, 2), (1, 3)]
