Python: Single digits in numbers sorted backwards and converted to English words
Single Digits to English Words in Reverse Order
Write a Python program to get the single digits in numbers sorted backwards and converted into English words.
Input: [1, 3, 4, 5, 11] Output: ['five', 'four', 'three', 'one'] Input: [27, 3, 8, 5, 1, 31] Output: ['eight', 'five', 'three', 'one']

Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# License: https://bit.ly/3oLErEI
# Function to convert single-digit numbers in a list to English words,
# sort them backwards, and return the result
def test(nums):
# Dictionary mapping English words to their corresponding digits
digits = {
"zero": None,
"one": 1,
"two": 2,
"three": 3,
"four": 4,
"five": 5,
"six": 6,
"seven": 7,
"eight": 8,
"nine": 9
}
# Create a reverse dictionary mapping digits to their corresponding English words
digits_backwards = {digits[k]: k for k in digits}
# Convert the original dictionary values to a list
digits = [digits[s] for s in digits]
# Extract single-digit numbers from the input list and convert them to English words
li = [digits[n] for n in nums if n in digits]
# Return the sorted list of English words corresponding to the digits
return [digits_backwards[n] for n in sorted(li, reverse=True)]
# Test cases with different lists of numbers
nums = [1, 3, 4, 5, 11]
print("Original list of numbers:")
print(nums)
print("Return the single digits in nums sorted backwards and converted to English words:")
print(test(nums))
nums = [27, 3, 8, 5, 1, 31]
print("\nOriginal list of numbers:")
print(nums)
print("Return the single digits in nums sorted backwards and converted to English words:")
print(test(nums))
Sample Output:
Original list of numbers: [1, 3, 4, 5, 11] Return the single digits in nums sorted backwards and converted to English words: ['five', 'four', 'three', 'one'] Original list of numbers: [27, 3, 8, 5, 1, 31] Return the single digits in nums sorted backwards and converted to English words: ['eight', 'five', 'three', 'one']
