Alphabetical Order Project
I'm working on a program that accepts ten lowercase letters and then displays the one that would come first in alphabetical order. I'm using an array right now and I'm a little stuck on the logic for deciding the output. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#define SIZE 10
char firstLetter(char[],char);
int main()
{
char letters[SIZE],y;
cout<<"\nThe first letter in alphabetical order is\n"<<
firstLetter(letters,y)<<endl;
}
char firstLetter(char letters[], char y)
{
int i;
y=letters[0];
for(i=0; i<SIZE; i++)
{
cout<<"Please enter a lowercase letter: ";
cin>>letters[i];
if (letters[i]<letters[SIZE-i])
{
y=letters[i];
}
}
return y;
}
