Create a function that returns a list of strings that are sorted alphabetically

"""
Create a function that takes a string, checks if it has the same number of "x"s
and "o"s and returns either True or False.
- Return a boolean value (True or False).
- The string can contain any character.
- When no x and no o are in the string, return True.

Examples:
- XO("ooxx") ➞ True
- XO("xooxx") ➞ False
- XO("ooxXm") ➞ True (Case insensitive)
- XO("zpzpzpp") ➞ True (Returns True if no x and o)
- XO("zzoo") ➞ False
"""
def XO(txt):
    lowerTxt = txt.lower()
    return lowerTxt.count('o') == lowerTxt.count('x')

"""
Given an unsorted list, create a function that returns the nth smallest element
(the smallest element is the first smallest, the second smallest element is the
second smallest, etc).
Examples:
- nth_smallest([7, 5, 3, 1], 1) ➞ 1
- nth_smallest([1, 3, 5, 7], 3) ➞ 5
- nth_smallest([1, 3, 5, 7], 5) ➞ None
- nth_smallest([7, 3, 5, 1], 2) ➞ 3
"""
def nThSmallest(someList, n):
    if n > len(someList):
        return None
    return sorted(someList)[n - 1]

"""
Write a function that creates a dictionary with each (key, value) pair being
the (lower case, upper case) versions of a letter, respectively.
Examples:
- mapping(["p", "s"]) ➞ { "p": "P", "s": "S" }
- mapping(["a", "b", "c"]) ➞ { "a": "A", "b": "B", "c": "C" }
- mapping(["a", "v", "y", "z"]) ➞ { "a": "A", "v": "V", "y": "Y", "z": "Z" }
Notes:
- All of the letters in the input list will always be lowercase.
"""
def mapping(someList):
    myDictionary = {}
    for letter in someList:
        myDictionary[letter] = letter.upper()
    return myDictionary

"""
Create a function that applies a discount d to every number in the list.
Examples:
- get_discounts([2, 4, 6, 11], "50%") ➞ [1, 2, 3, 5.5]
- get_discounts([10, 20, 40, 80], "75%") ➞ [7.5, 15, 30, 60]
- get_discounts([100], "45%") ➞ [45]
Notes:
- The discount is the percentage of the original price (i.e the discount of
"75%" to 12 would be 9 as opposed to taking off 75% (making 3)).
- There won't be any awkward decimal numbers, only 0.5 to deal with.
"""
def getDiscounts(nums, percentage):
    discount = int(percentage[:-1]) / 100
    return [n * discount for n in nums]

print(getDiscounts([2, 4, 6, 11], "50%"))
