favorite_things = ['raindrops on roses', 'whiskers on kittens', 'bright copper kettles', 'warm woolen mittens', 'bright paper packages tied up with string', 'cream colored ponies', 'crisp apple strudels']

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 25,127 PointsYou used .pop() to get items of. It´s all about slices.
The first challenge: "that has the second, third, and fourth items"
slice1 = favorite_things[1:4]
Second challenge: "Get the last two items from favorite_things and put them into slice2."
slice2 = favorite_things[-2:]
Third challenge: "Make a copy of favorite_things and name it sorted_things. Then use .sort() to sort sorted_things."
sorted_things = favorite_things[:]
sorted_things.sort()

19,102 PointsSorry to necro a thread, but I've just finished this task and I wanted to ask a question about the 3rd part.
I tried to combine the last 2 steps into 1 by trying
sorted_things = favorite_things[:].sort()
but my variable stayed empty. Is there a way to do the slice and the sort in the same line?
Cheers, Owen

sorted_things = sorted(favorite_things[:])
