how to sort an array without using sort function?
I have the code please tell me what is the error in this code

x = [] n = input("enter length") for i in range(int(n)): k = input("enter value") x.append(k) print(x) for j in range(1,len(x)): k=x[j] i=j-1 while (i>0 and x[i]>k): x[i+1]=x[i] i=i-1 x[i+1]=k print(x)

k = input("enter value") gets a string. Are you expecting your sort routine to sort strings or numbers? For strings, '2' > '10'. Also remember that python list indices start at zero, so you might want to look at the range checking in your while statement.
