title: Manual Sorting in Python
body: <p>So I got a homework assignment for my Python class that I simply cannot figure out how to do. </p>
  
  <p>Essentially our professor wants us to break down the "sorted" built-in Python function and do it ourself while using else,elif,and if statements. </p>
  
  <p>We are required to first ask the user to input 4 numbers and then sort and print them in ascending order using else,elif, and if while we are not allowed to use the built-in "sorted" function.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I need it to do:</p>
  
  <p>Example output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; sort4() 
  Please enter a number: 1.1 
  Please enter a number: -7.3 
  Please enter a number: 32 
  Please enter a number: 3.14 
  Your numbers in ascending order are: -7.3 1.1 3.14 32
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If there's anything that can be done to help or assist me, please do so ASAP. Thanks!</p>
