Update the function body for the Python function nthElement to return the nth smallest number from the list
(you should leave the function header as it appears).
sorting the inputList in ascending order
return the nth element of the sorted list
For example:
Test
nth Element (3, [15,28,10,9,45])
nthElement(2, ["Mercedes", "Honda", "BMW", "Jaguar"]) Honda
