Why am I not able to sort the resultant list??

Question

def func(str):
return len(str)
a = input("Enter:").split(" ")
p = list(zip(a,list(map(func,a))))
p.sort(reverse=False)
print(p)

Answer 1

In that case your code is much more complicated than needed. You can just take an input, make it a list, and print out the longest word (using the max() function), and the length of it (so you will need len(max(input))). Try that and I'll help if you need it

Answer 2

Solomoni Railoa that is a good way of doing it, however I believe that it can be simplified further. Here is the link to my explanation through it: https://code.sololearn.com/cYAnMGomH9VJ

And yes it is possible to take out the quotation marks but it is very long and unnecessary

Answer 3

It is sorting correctly. Maybe it's not sorting as you want, how do you want it to sort?

Answer 4

Here's the task:
I will enter a sentence and i need to return the max length in it along with the word
Ex:
Input:
"I love programming"
Output:
(Programming,11)
