Sorting After Squaring | Dataford Interview Questions

Given an array of integers, sort them after squaring. Implement sorted_squares(nums), where nums is sorted in nondecreasing order, and return a new list containing each value squared in nondecreasing order. The input may contain negative numbers, zero, duplicates, or a single element.

Constraints

1 <= nums.length <= 1000
-10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4
nums is sorted in nondecreasing order
The output must be a new list
