I wrote: <pre class='brush: python'>sorted(prev, cur, next) for prev, cur, next in zip(...) </pre> your way is much more neat!

It not work properly with no sequential list like: [1, 2, 16, 43, 500, 502]

EDIT: 2021.8.1 Wrong Code: <pre class='brush: python'>sorted(prev, cur, next) for prev, cur, next in zip(...) </pre> Actual Code I wrote: <pre class='brush: python'>return els[:2] + [sorted((prev,cur,next))[1] for prev,cur,next in zip(els, els[1:], els[2:])] </pre>
