为什么“返回list.sort()"?返回None，不是列表? [英] Why does "return list.sort()" return None, not the list?

问题描述

我已经能够验证findUniqueWords确实导致了排序的list.但是，它不返回列表.为什么?

I've been able to verify that the findUniqueWords does result in a sorted list. However, it does not return the list. Why?

def findUniqueWords(theList):
    newList = []
    words = []

    # Read a line at a time
    for item in theList:

        # Remove any punctuation from the line
        cleaned = cleanUp(item)

        # Split the line into separate words
        words = cleaned.split()

        # Evaluate each word
        for word in words:

            # Count each unique word
            if word not in newList:
                newList.append(word)

    answer = newList.sort()
    return answer

推荐答案

list.sort对列表进行适当排序，即不返回新列表.只需写

list.sort sorts the list in place, i.e. it doesn't return a new list. Just write

newList.sort()
return newList
