JavaScript: Convert the letters of a given string in alphabetical order

JavaScript Basic: Exercise-52 with Solution

Sort Letters Alphabetically in String

Write a JavaScript program to convert letters of a given string alphabetically.

This JavaScript program takes a string and sorts its letters in alphabetical order. It splits the string into an array of characters, sorts the array, and then joins the sorted characters back into a string.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

// Define a function named alphabet_Soup with parameter str
function alphabet_Soup(str) { 
    // Split the string into an array of characters, sort the array, and join it back into a string
    return str.split("").sort().join("");
}

// Log the result of calling alphabet_Soup with the given strings to the console
console.log(alphabet_Soup("Python"));
console.log(alphabet_Soup("Exercises")); 

Output:

Phnoty
Eceeirssx

ES6 Version:

 // Define a function named alphabet_Soup with parameter str
const alphabet_Soup = (str) => {
    // Split the string into an array of characters, sort the array, and join the characters back into a string
    return str.split("").sort().join("");
};

// Log the result of calling alphabet_Soup with the given strings to the console
console.log(alphabet_Soup("Python"));
console.log(alphabet_Soup("Exercises"));

• Write a JavaScript function that alphabetically sorts the letters of a string in a case-insensitive manner, then restores the original letter casing.
• Write a JavaScript program that first sorts a string’s letters in alphabetical order and then returns the result in reverse order.
