Question

USE PYTHON ONLY. AND USE DEF FUNCTION. thank you

Use the following list of tuples, where each tuple contains the name, land area in square miles, and population in millions of a New England state. NE = [("Maine", 30840, 1.329), ("Vermont", 9217, .626), ("New Hampshire", 8953, 1.321), ("Massachusetts", 7800, 6.646), ("Connecticut", 4842, 3.59), ("Rhode Island", 1044, 1.05)] New England Stated Write a program that displays the names of the states in the list NE in descending order by population. See Fig.4.16.

Question 54 States Write a program that displays the nameof the states in the list NE in decending order by population.

NE = [("Maine" , 30840, 1.329) , ("Vermont" , 9217, .626), ("Massachusetts" , 7800, 6.646), ("Connecticut" , 4842, 3.59), ("Rhode Island" , 1044, 1.5)]

Answer 1

def stateByTop(n):
    states = NE()
    for i in range(0,len(states)):
        madeSwap = False
        for j in range (0,len(states)-(i+1)):
            if states[j][2] < states[j+1][2]:
                temp = states[j+1]
                states[j+1] = states[j]
                states[j] = temp
                madeSwap = True
        if not madeSwap:
            return states
    return states[n]
