hello
I am trying to sort a list(I know there is a builtin sort method).
a=[21,56,35,47,94,12]
b=[]
for x in a:
b.append (min(a))
a.remove (min(a))
>>> a
[56, 47, 94]
>>> b

You could also make this a method of a subclass of string if you
prefer:
class MyString(str):
def beginswith(self, prefixes):
for prefix in prefixes:
if self.startswith(prefix):
return prefix
It's an appealing idea but the extra step of

Above does a lot more work than necessary. Try:
def beginsWith(word, listname):
for prefix in listname:
if word.startswith(prefix):
return True
