Need help returning min() value of list?

[edwdas]

Howdy,

I have a feeling that my issue lies within my second function. The Max function works for returning the single highest digit however the min function returns a blank value

lst = []


def sort_max():
    max(lst)
    return (sorted(max(list(lst)))[-1])

def sort_min():
    min(lst)
    return (sorted(min(list(lst)))[+1])

while True:
    usrInput = (input("List "))
    if usrInput == "":
        print("Min", sort_min(), "Max", sort_max())
        break
    lst.append(usrInput)
