String Sorting System?

Question

We can do bubble sort to sort int array. Well thats the only sorting system that i know for now. Will bubble sort system work to sort string arrays or char array in alphabetical way?

(sorting the strings in alphabetical way, not sorting the letters in a string)

If no, is there any sorting system that works well with char and string?

Spesifically on c++. Python is also acceptable if not so complex, hehe still learning on python.

Answer 1

definetly a bit longer than python, or its just me being bad at it

Answer 3

Wow, thanks Lothar! I definatley see what you mean. I didnt even think about that. The scripts are small but anything large and Id just be twiddling my thumbs while i waited. Good eye

Answer 4

Yes, it sorts characters by ascii value.
In python there are simple functions you can call to get the same effect.

Answer 6

Xtron135 yes, in same code just add .split(" ") to the input.

maybe playaround with the output abit to make it readable

Answer 7

Rei great minds! haha, but for future reference, there's no need to explicitly split at a space since that's the default.

Answer 8

Slick ah, i get it mixed up with javascript split()

Answer 9

Rei thanks for the info. U guys r so good. 😅😅

Answer 10

Slick thanks. I see that works well on numbers and a single string. Will it work to sort multiple string? Specifically a string array?

Eg based on ur code,
"hello" "this" "is" "a" "string"

can it be sorted into this?
"a" "is" "hello" "string" "this"

Answer 11

Ok i get it for now.. hmm but still no c++ solution. I wonder if there anything like the auto sort func in c++.

Anyway, thanks guys.

Answer 12

c++ ? there is std::sort in <algorithm>
you can split the string into vector firstm then use strcmp for string comparison
