Sort Characters in String

Introduction

In this lab, we will explore how to sort characters in a string in alphabetical order using JavaScript. We will use the spread operator, Array.prototype.sort(), and String.prototype.localeCompare() to achieve this. By the end of the lab, you will have a good understanding of how to manipulate strings in JavaScript using these methods.

Here's how to sort characters in a string:

Use the following code to sort the characters in a string alphabetically:

const sortCharactersInString = (str) =>
  [...str].sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b)).join("");

To start, open the Terminal/SSH and type node to begin practicing coding.

Example usage:

sortCharactersInString("cabbage"); // 'aabbceg'
