The difference of sort() and sorted() in short words: sort() - using sort() will change (sort) the passed list to the function inline, that mean that the original list will be sorted. sort() only works for lists. sorted() - using sorted() will take any iterable (list, tuple, string, dict), not only list, and will return a new sorted iterable.

list.sort() - Sorts the list. sorted(list) - Returns a sorted copy of the list.
