Sorting to Find the Smallest Number

Interviewer: Write code for finding the smallest number in the list My code: 1 a.sort() 2 print(a[0])

The programmer sorts the entire list and prints the first element, humorously using a simple but inefficient solution when a direct minimum operation would be more appropriate.
