[Tutor] (no subject)

[Annika Scheffler]

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your help! In fact, it does work that way for me, too. But when
writing a function like this:

def sortList(someList):
      

          return someList.sort()

print sortList("What have we here".split())

I get "none" as a result. Why's that?

Thanks,
Annika

>>> l = "what have we here".split()
>>> l
['what', 'have', 'we', 'here']
>>> l.sort()
>>> l
['have', 'here', 'we', 'what']
>>>

Works for me.
