In this tutorial, we will learn how to sort words in alphabetic order in Python. We will cover the basic concept of string manipulation and implement a function to perform the sorting.
String manipulation involves altering, parsing, and analyzing strings in various ways. Sorting words in a string alphabetically is a common task in text processing.
The syntax to sort words in alphabetic order in Python is:
def sort_words(s):
words = s.split()
words.sort()
return ' '.join(words)
We can create a function to sort words in a given string alphabetically by splitting the string into words, sorting the list of words, and then joining them back into a string.
For example,
sort_words
that takes one parameter s
.split
method to break the string into a list of words.sort
method to sort the list of words alphabetically.join
method to join the sorted list of words back into a single string.def sort_words(s):
words = s.split()
words.sort()
return ' '.join(words)
# Sample string
sample_string = "hello world welcome to python programming"
# Sort words in the sample string
result = sort_words(sample_string)
# Print the result
print('Sorted words:', result)
Sorted words: hello programming python to welcome world
