Sorting Characters Of A C++ String

There is a sorting algorithm in the standard library, in the header <algorithm>. It sorts inplace, so if you do the following, your original word will become sorted.

std::sort(word.begin(), word.end());

If you don’t want to lose the original, make a copy first.

std::string sortedWord = word;
std::sort(sortedWord.begin(), sortedWord.end());
