Jupyter sort error
the following code works fine on my interpreter
a = [5, 1, 4, 3]
b = sorted(a)
why is it giving me this error when I run it from Jupiter:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-71-4a5766271a85> in <module>()
----> 1 b = sorted(a)
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

Make sure the name is sorted
not overwritten.
>>> sorted([5,4,3,2,1])
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> sorted = [] # <--- overwritten; shadows builtin `sorted` function.
>>> sorted([5,4,3,2,1])
