did we have to code a bubble sort for the race records question to find the smallest time?

5.4 was the one where you had to use an iteration with only one input statement and 9 was where you had to say whether it added the 5 numbers or not

I got thrown off by 5.4 at first so I guessed and I was pretty close and then I saw question 9 and I audibly exclaimed lol

numlist= [ ]
for i in range(5):
number=int(input())
numlist.append(number)

print(sum(numlist))

No. I did this:

smallest = list[0]
for I in range(len(list)):
if list < smallest
smallest = list

print(smallest)

For the lowest value in the list question:

smallest = list[0]
for j in range(len(list)):
if list[j] < smallest:
smallest = list[j]



print(smallest)

but didn’t it say that you could not use any built in ordering functions?
