Print Sorted Number Formed by Merging All Elements in Array

When it is required to print the sorted numbers that are formed by merging the elements of an array, a method can be defined that first sorts the number and converts the number to an integer. Another method maps this list to a string, and is sorted again.

Example

Below is a demonstration of the same

def get_sorted_nums(my_num):

   my_num = ''.join(sorted(my_num))
   my_num = int(my_num)
   print(my_num)

def merged_list(my_list):

   my_list = list(map(str, my_list))
   my_str = ''.join(my_list)
   get_sorted_nums(my_str)

my_list = [7, 845, 69, 60, 99, 11]
print("The list is :")
print(my_list)
print("The result is :")
merged_list(my_list)

Output

The list is :
[7, 845, 69, 60, 99, 11]
The result is :
11456678999

Explanation

• A method named ‘get_sorted_nums’ is defined that takes a number as a parameter.

• It is first converted to a string and then sorted.

• Next, it is converted back to an integer and displayed on the console.

• Another method named ‘merged_list’ is defined that takes a list as a parameter.

• It is converted into a string using the ‘map’ method and then converted to a list.

• The previous method to sort and convert to integer is again called by passing this string.

• Outside the method, a list is defined and is displayed on the console.

• The method is called by passing this parameter.

• The output is displayed on the console.
