Determine if a list is in descending order

Question

I am trying to write a function that will test whether or not a list is in decending order. This is what I have so far, but it doesn\'t seem to be working for all lists. <

Answer 1

You should rather do the reverse check (As soon as you get A[i] < A[i+1], return false

def ordertest(A):
    for i in range( len(A) - 1 ):
        if A[i] < A[i+1]:
            return False
        return True
