Python Program to Sort a List According to the Length of the Elements

This is a Python Program to sort a list according to the length of the elements.

The program takes a list and sorts the list according to the length of the elements.

1. Take in the number of elements for the first list and store it in a variable.
2. Take in the elements of the list one by one.
3. Then sort the list giving the length of the elements as the key.
4. Display the sorted list.
5. Exit.

Here is source code of the Python Program to sort a list according to the length of the elements. The program output is also shown below.

a=[]
n=int(input("Enter number of elements:"))
for i in range(1,n+1):
    b=input("Enter element:")
    a.append(b)
a.sort(key=len)
print(a)

1. User must enter the number of elements for the first list and store it in a variable.
2. User must then enter the elements of the list one by one using a for loop and store it in a list.
3. Then the list is sorted using the length of the elements as the key.
4. The sorted list is then printed.

 
Case 1:
Enter number of elements:4
Enter element:"Apple"
Enter element:"Ball"
Enter element:"Cat"
Enter element:"Dog"
['Cat', 'Dog', 'Ball', 'Apple']
 
Case 2:
Enter number of elements:4
Enter element:"White"
Enter element:"Red"
Enter element:"Purple"
Enter element:"Orange"
['Red', 'White', 'Purple', 'Orange']
