Question

The elements of the list are going to be strings, and will be in order of strictly increasing or decreasing length. Some examples of lists in strictly increasing length order are [“pan”, “banana”,”xylophone”], and [“kayn”, “swain”, “morgana”].  

Function Name: fix_string_list

Parameter: data - A list with 3 elements (that are all lowercase strings) that is either in order of strictly increasing or decreasing length.

Return: A list with the same 3 elements as the parameter that is in order of strictly increasing length.

Description: Given a list of 3 strings that may be in order of either strictly increasing or decreasing length, return a list of 3 strings that are in order of strictly increasing length.

Examples: Parameter: [“aloe”,”zebra”,”magnesium”] Returns: [“aloe”,”zebra”,”magnesium”] Parameter: [“Hydrogen”, “Carbon”, “Iron”] Returns: [“Iron”,”Carbon”,”Hydrogen”]
