I wrote the following, but it doesn’t pass the efficiency test:

  • In Python, you can simply sort through the sort() function without using bubble sort separately.

sort()

  • Built-in method of List object

  • Immediately sort the original list in ascending order (in-place)

  • You can sort in descending order with list.sort(reverse=True), and the return value is None.

  • If you need sorted copies, use the built-in function sorted().

    • list.sort() (modify the original list) Features: Changes the original list itself and does not return a new list (returns None)
