String Mess

**sikander** · 05-18-2004

My Task:

to develop and test a C program to sort the letters in a string of characters read from the keyboard into alphabetical order.

program should:

a) Prompt the user to input a string of characters up to a maximum of 40 characters

b) Read the string input from the keyboard

c) Output the sequence of characters in alphabetical order

d) Prompt the user to repeat the process if desired

I have writtent the programme, and I get an error saying "eh.h is not in c++". Where am I going wrong?

Can you resubmit without the "I am silly" so that it will be easier to read?

**ggs** · 05-18-2004

you are indeed very silly

**Codeplug** · 05-18-2004

Code:

int main()
{
	int tabTest;
	return 0;
}

I am using Macintosh, and i do not know how it end up like that.

Wouldn't it be nice if all tab characters were changed to "I am silly" as well.......oh well.
