Answer:

# Get input and strip any leading/trailing spaces

inputList = input('Enter list: ').strip()

def issorted(lst):

   if len(lst) < 2:

       return True

   

   current = 1

   prev = 0

   while current < len(lst):

       # Compare if current value is less than the previous one

       if int(lst[current]) < int(lst[prev]):

           return False

       

       prev = current

       current += 1

   

   return True

# Convert input to list

inputList = inputList.split(' ')

# Print output

if issorted(inputList):

   print("The list is already sorted​")

else:

   print("The list is not sorted")
