Finding the smallest number lexicographically
1
I'm trying to print smallest number. My prof calls it lexicographical order I think.
For example, I have this list :
[27312,31539]
[49494,26089]
[2946,28149]
The result should be:
27312
26089
28149
Why 28149 is smaller than 2946 so, 2 = 2, but the next int 8<9 ,so it prints 28149.
Is it possible to implement this using lambda ?
python python-3.x

You can use the min function with str as a key function:
print(min([27312,31539], key=str))
print(min([49494,26089], key=str))
print(min([2946,28149], key=str))
This outputs:
27312
26089
28149
