My programming skills are pretty rusty and I'm just learning Python so this
problem is giving me trouble.
I have a list like [108, 58, 68]. I want to return the sorted indices of
these items in the same order as the original list. So I should return [2,
0, 1]
You could simply do this:
a = [108, 58, 68]
b = sorted(a)
[b.index(c) for c in a]
Yuck. Slow, and it fails if duplicate list elements exist.
Also... This looks like a beginners programming assignment. Let's
let him try it himself. We can offer help rather than full solutions if
he has specific Python questions.
For a list that's already in order, I'll just return the indices, i.e. [56,
66, 76] should return [0, 1, 2]
Any help would be appreciated.
