In this tutorial, we will learn writing the python program to sort all the characters of the string in ascending order.
Problem Statement
We have to take a string from the users as an input. And we have to write program in python which will take input and return the string with sorted characters.
For example:
Case1: If the user inputs the string ‘python’
Then the output should be ‘honpty’, where all the characters are sorted.
Case2: If the user inputs the string ‘quescol’
Then the output should be ‘celoqsu’, where all characters are sorted.
Our logic to sort string in ascending order
- Our program accepts string as an input from the user.
- In order to sort the characters of the string, our program will use the python built-in function ‘sorted()’.
- sorted() function will sort the input string and will return sorted string.
Python code to sort string character in ascending order
#taking input from the user
string = input("Enter the string : ")
#converting string into list of its characters
strList=list(string)
#sorting elements of list
sortedString=''.join(sorted(strList))
print("String Sorted in ascending order :", sortedString)Output:
Enter the string : quescol
String Sorted in ascending order : celoqsuExplanation:
For the input string ‘quescol’, firstly, the string’s elements get stored in a list that looks like
[ ‘q’, ‘u’, ‘e’, ‘s’, ‘c’, ‘o’, ‘l’ ]
Then, after using the sorted() function which re-arranges the list elements in ascending order as
[ ‘c’, ‘e’, ‘l’, ‘o’, ‘q’, ‘s’, ‘u’ ]
Finally, the join() function will concatenate the elements of the string and returns the concatenated string as output.
