### ▶ All sorted?
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Example ID: e5ff1eaf-8823-4738-b4ce-b73f7c9d5511 -->
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
>>> x = 7, 8, 9
|
||||
>>> sorted(x) == x
|
||||
False
|
||||
>>> sorted(x) == sorted(x)
|
||||
True
|
||||
|
||||
>>> y = reversed(x)
|
||||
>>> sorted(y) == sorted(y)
|
||||
False
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 💡 Explanation:
|
||||
|
||||
- The `sorted` method always returns a list, and comparing list and tuples always returns `False` in Python.
|
||||
|
||||
- ```py
|
||||
>>> [] == tuple()
|
||||
False
|
||||
>>> x = 7, 8, 9
|
||||
>>> type(x), type(sorted(x))
|
||||
(tuple, list)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Unlike `sorted`, the `reversed` method returns an iterator. Why? Because sorting requires the iterator to be either modified in-place or use extra container (a list), whereas reversing can simple work by iterating from the last index to the first.
|
||||
|
||||
- So during comparison `sorted(y) == sorted(y)`, the first call to `sorted()` will consume the iterator `y`, and the next call will just return an empty list.
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
>>> x = 7, 8, 9
|
||||
>>> y = reversed(x)
|
||||
>>> sorted(y), sorted(y)
|
||||
([7, 8, 9], [])
|
||||
```

### ▶ All-true-ation
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Example ID: dfe6d845-e452-48fe-a2da-0ed3869a8042 -->
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
>>> all([True, True, True])
|
||||
True
|
||||
>>> all([True, True, False])
|
||||
False
|
||||
|
||||
>>> all([])
|
||||
True
|
||||
>>> all([[]])
|
||||
False
|
||||
>>> all([[[]]])
|
||||
True
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Why's this True-False alteration?
|
||||
|
||||
#### 💡 Explanation:
|
||||
|
||||
- The implementation of `all` function is equivalent to
|
||||
|
||||
- ```py
|
||||
def all(iterable):
|
||||
for element in iterable:
|
||||
if not element:
|
||||
return False
|
||||
return True
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `all([])` returns `True` since the iterable is empty.
|
||||
- `all([[]])` returns `False` because `not []` is `True` is equivalent to `not False` as the list inside the iterable is empty.
|
||||
- `all([[[]]])` and higher recursive variants are always `True` since `not [[]]`, `not [[[]]]`, and so on are equivalent to `not True`.

* `int('١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩')` returns `123456789` in Python 3. In Python, Decimal characters include digit characters, and all characters that can be used to form decimal-radix numbers, e.g. U+0660, ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO. Here's an [interesting story](http://chris.improbable.org/2014/8/25/adventures-in-unicode-digits/) related to this behavior of Python.

* Python has an undocumented [converse implication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_implication) operator.
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
>>> False ** False == True
|
||||
True
|
||||
>>> False ** True == False
|
||||
True
|
||||
>>> True ** False == True
|
||||
True
|
||||
>>> True ** True == True
|
||||
True
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you replace `False` and `True` by 0 and 1 and do the maths, the truth table is equivalent to converse implication operator. ([Source](https://github.com/cosmologicon/pywat/blob/master/explanation.md#the-undocumented-converse-implication-operator)).
