int main(int argc, char*argv[])
{

        int MAX = 100000;
        int i =0;
        int k =0;
        int j =0;
        char array[MAX];
        char split[] = " ,.-!?()0123456789";
        int n = 0;
        char second[MAX];
        printf("Please enter in a String: ");
        //String input
        fgets(array,MAX,stdin);

        char **first =(char**)malloc(sizeof(char*));

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main (void) {
int MAX = 100000;
char string[MAX];
char temp;
int i, j;
printf("Please enter in a String: ");
fgets(string,MAX,stdin);
printf("String before sorting - %s ", string);
int n = strlen(string);
for (i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
for (j = i+1; j < n; j++) {
if (string[i] < string[j]) {
temp = string[i];
string[i] = string[j];
string[j] = temp;
}
}
}

printf("String after sorting - %s ", string);
return 0;
}
