Error printing the list

Question

Error printing the list

This is a code to print the Maximal and Minimal Product sum of a list, for example, The maximal product sum of list [1,3,5,9] is 69 and it's arrangement is [3,5,9,1]
I.e (3×5)+(5×9)+(9×1)=6. Likewise the minimal is 27.. I have almost finished the code except the sorted array for maximum, i e [3,5,9,1] isn't printing and also for minimal ... not printing... I'm trying to assign the sorted list to variable 'finalist' But it doesn't go my way.

Answer 1

Yeaah i just realized Diego my algorithm doesn't sort my array in all possible ways, except for the sequential order. And yeah, im able to print the sorted array using slice now. But can you tell me the reason why finalist=shuffle doesn't work but finalist=shuffle[:] aren't they the same thing?

Answer 2

1. Your algorithm doesn't work correctly. The maximal product of [1, 3, 5, 9] is 77, not 69.
[1, 5, 9, 3]
(1x5) + (5x9) + (9x3) == 77.

2. Change "finalist = shuffle" to "finalist = shuffle[:]".
