‘NoneType‘ object has no attribute ‘sort‘

题目：已知列表 li_num = [4,5,1,7] 和 li_num2 = [3,6],请将这两个列表合并为一个列表，并将合并后列表中的元素按照从大到小的顺序排列。

li_num1 = [4,5,1,7]
li_num2 = [3,6]
li_num3 = li_num1.extend(li_num2)
li_num4 = li_num3.sort(reverse = True)

错误分析：

li_num1 = [4,5,1,7]
li_num2 = [3,6]
li_num3 = li_num1.extend(li_num2)
print(li_num3)

extend()方法修改原函数，返回值为空，不能赋值。
正解：

li_num1 = [4,5,1,7]
li_num2 = [3,6]
li_num1.extend(li_num2)
li_num1.sort(reverse = True)
print(li_num1)
