Python - Sort a list in ascending and descending order without using in-built function and in the most efficient way

This piece of logic goes through a list how our eyes would go though it to sort it in ascending and descending order.
class Sorta:

def __init__(self, a):

self.a = a
def sortascend(self):

print("Ascending Before: {}".format(self.a))

index = 1 # to track upto what have we checked
while index < len(self.a): #while runs till index reaches the end of array

if self.a[index] < self.a[index-1]: # if not ascending makes ascending
temp = self.a[index]
self.a[index] = self.a[index-1]
self.a[index-1] = temp
bool1 = True
index2 = index
while bool1: # runs backwards till descending pairs are encountered
index2 -= 1
if self.a[index2] < self.a[index2-1]: # if not ascending makes ascending
temp = self.a[index2]
self.a[index2] = self.a[index2-1]
self.a[index2-1] = temp
else: # else gets out of while loop
bool1 = False
index += 1 # moves to next index

print("Ascending After: {}".format(self.a))

def sortdescend(self):

print("Descending Before: {}".format(self.a))

index = 1 # to track upto what have we checked
while index < len(self.a): #while runs till index reaches the end of array

if self.a[index] > self.a[index-1]: # if not ascending makes ascending
temp = self.a[index]
self.a[index] = self.a[index-1]
self.a[index-1] = temp
bool1 = True
index2 = index
while bool1: # runs backwards till descending pairs are encountered
index2 -= 1
if self.a[index2] > self.a[index2-1] and index2 > 0: # if not ascending makes ascending
temp = self.a[index2]
self.a[index2] = self.a[index2-1]
self.a[index2-1] = temp
else: # else gets out of while loop
bool1 = False
index += 1 # moves to next index

print("Descending After: {}".format(self.a))

a = [1,4,8,3,5,2,4,2,7,6,9,5,7]
obj = Sorta(a)
obj.sortascend()
obj.sortdescend()
OUTPUT
Ascending Before: [1, 4, 8, 3, 5, 2, 4, 2, 7, 6, 9, 5, 7]
Ascending After: [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9]
Descending Before: [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9]
Descending After: [9, 8, 7, 7, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 1]

Python - List - Append, Count, Extend, Index, Insert, Pop, Remove, Reverse, Sort

🐍 Advance List List is widely used and it's functionalities are heavily useful. Append Adds one element at the end of the list. Syntax list1.append(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append(4) l1 Output [1, 2, 3, 4] append can be used to add any datatype in a list. It can even add list inside list. Caution: Append does not return anything. It just appends the list. Count .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.count(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] l1.count(3) Output 2 It returns 0 if the value is not found in the list. Extend .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.extend(list) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.extend([4, 5]) Output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] If we use append, entire list will be added to the first list like one element. Extend, i nstead of considering a list as one element, it joins the two lists one after other. Append works in the following way. Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append([4, 5]) Output...

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.
