Comparing digits in an integer in Python

Question

Really need some help here. Super early in learning Python.

The goal is to take a number and see if the digits are in ascending order. What I have so far is:

Answer 1

You would need a loop.

for example:

a = int(input("Enter a 4-digit number: "))

b = [int(i) for i in str(a)]


def isAscending(b):
  #loop for as many digits in the array
  for x in range(0, len(b) - 1):
    # if the next number is less than the previous return false
    if b[x] > b[x+1]:
      return False
  #  did not fail so return true
  return True

if isAscending(b):
  print ("the number is in ascending order")
else:
  print ("the number is not in ascending order")
