A function that checks if the list is sorted

[Pedroski55]

Of course you must compare things which are comparable.

from string import ascii_lowercase
from random import choice, randint

mylist1 = [choice(ascii_lowercase) for i in range(5)]
mylist2 = [i for i in ascii_lowercase]
mylist3 = [randint(1,10) for i in range(10)]
mylist4 = [i for i in range(10)]

def is_sorted(alist):
    for i in range(1, len(alist)-1):
        # exit as soon as the condition is not true
        if not alist[i-1] <= alist[i] <= alist[i+1]:
            return False
    return True
