Python Program to Sort Words in Alphabetic Order

In this program, you’ll learn to sort the words in alphabetic order using for loop and display it.

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python programming topics:

• Python for Loop
• Python Strings

In this example, we illustrate how words can be sorted lexicographically (alphabetic order).

Source Code

# Program to sort alphabetically the words form a string provided by the user

my_str = "Hello this Is an Example With cased letters"

# To take input from the user
#my_str = input("Enter a string: ")

# breakdown the string into a list of words
words = [word.lower() for word in my_str.split()]

# sort the list
words.sort()

# display the sorted words

print("The sorted words are:")
for word in words:
   print(word)

Output

The sorted words are:
an
cased
example
hello
is
letters
this
with

Note: To test the program, change the value of my_str.

In this program, we store the string to be sorted in my_str. Using the split() method the string is converted into a list of words. The split() method splits the string at whitespaces.

The list of words is then sorted using the sort() method, and all the words are displayed.
