[Tutor] sorted function

[D.V.N.Sarma డి.వి.ఎన్.శర్మ]

Change your code to

def front_x(words):
  # +++your code here+++
  ls=[]
  ls1=[]
  for str in words:
      if str[0]=='x':
          ls.append(str)
      else:
          ls1.append(str);
  print ls
  print ls1
  ls =  sorted(ls)
  ls1 = sorted(ls1)
  ls.extend(ls1)
  return ls

regards,
Sarma.
