How to write a sorting program

I’m supposed to write my own sorting method for a list of words entered
by a user to reappear in alphabetical order without using recursion. I
don’t know where to start from or how to go about this… Someone please
help me out :slight_smile:

Your teacher is probably a member of this mailing list. Why don’t you

I’m reading Chris P.'s book - Learn to program… that’s where the
assignment is from. I’m not sure I understand how he wants the program
to look like… :confused:

Get some scraps of paper, number them, mix them up, and work through it
manually until you like your solution.

Samuel, if you need some idea of how sorting algorithms work you’ll
find plenty on wikipedia.

Kind regards
