What are in place operators ?

Question

The definition given in the app is very confusing, pls help out with an understandable example

Answer 1

Good question! I think they are operators that modify their arguments, rather than create new values. In Python, arr.sort() modifies list arr. So we say it sorts "in place". However, sorted(arr) leaves arr unchanged, and creates a new list.
