data in files and arrays











                                These are some of the methods that come built into every array. See
                                if you can match up the descriptions with the method names. Draw in
                                the missing connecting lines. We’ve done one for you to get you started:


                      Method                                 What the method does


                     count()                             Sorts the array into a specified order (low to high)

                     extend()                            Removes and returns the last array item
                     index()                             Adds an item at any index location
                     insert()                            Looks for an item and returns its index value
                     pop()                               Reverses the order of the array

                     remove()                            Tells you how many times a value is in the array
                     reverse()                           Adds a list of items to an array
                     sort()                              Removes and returns the first array item


















                                Can you work out which two methods you need to employ to allow
                                you to sort the data in the order that you need?
