Squares of a Sorted Array Python Solution

lcpy gen -n 977   # by problem number
lcpy gen -s squares_of_a_sorted_array   # by problem name

Input: nums = [-4,-1,0,3,10]
Output: [0,1,9,16,100]

Explanation: After squaring, the array becomes [16,1,0,9,100].
After sorting, it becomes [0,1,9,16,100].

Input: nums = [-7,-3,2,3,11]
Output: [4,9,9,49,121]
