Question

Write a C++ function to sort the characters in words in a inputed phrase. DO not sort the characters in the string.

Some of the steps has been done for you. Fill out the program in C++. See below for the expected console output.

Make the program as simple as possible. Use introductory Object-Oriented C++ programming. If all the requirements are met, then this will be upvoted.

Do use the C++ Standard Library headers, do not use the C Standard Library headers (For instance, include cmath instead of math.h)

Do not use cstring’s or any of the cstring functions (strlen(), strcpy(), strcmp(), etc.)

Program:

#include

using namespace std;

string sortPhrase(string phrase){
  
  
}

int main(){
  
string sentence;
  
cout << "Enter a phrase: ";
  
getline(cin, phrase);
  
}

Expected Console Outputs:

Enter a phrase: Hello welcome to the exciting world of programming languages!  

The sorted phrase: Hello exciting languages! of programming the to welcome world

Enter a phrase: May the Force be with you!

The sorted phrase: Force May be the with you!   

Enter a phrase: There's no place like home.

The sorted phrase: There's home. like no place

The following is the code for above question. Since you were asked for the solution to be as simple as possible, i tried to keep it as simple as such, without using C Standard Library headers and also used basic c++ programming. This can also be done using other complex libraries also(vector,stringstream,strtok etc..).

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
string sortPhrase(string phrase){  //function to sort the string and return it
  int i,j,k=0;
  string s[100],t,temp,sentence="";
  for(char x:phrase)  //split the string based on empty space and store the words in string array
  {
      if(x==' ')  //if space is found
      {
          s[k++]=t; //put the word before space into string array
          t=""; //Now make the string to ""
      }
      else
      {
          t=t+x; //else keep on adding each character till space is found
      }
  }
  s[k++]=t; //to put the last word
  for(i=0;i<k-1;i++)
  {
      for(j=i+1;j<k;j++)
      {
          if(s[i]>s[j]) //sorting the words 
          {
              temp=s[i];
              s[i]=s[j];
              s[j]=temp;
          }
          
      }
  }
  //Now convert the array of words to form a complete sentence by concatenating them
  for(i=0;i<k;i++)
  {
      if(i!=k-1) //if not last word
      {
          sentence=sentence+s[i]+" ";
      }
      else //if last word
      {
          sentence=sentence+s[i];
      }
  }
  return sentence; //return the sentence
  
}
int main()
{
    string phrase,sentence;
    cout<<"Enter a phrase: ";
    getline(cin,phrase); //input the phrase
    cout<<endl;
    sentence=sortPhrase(phrase); //sort the phrase
    cout<<sentence; //output the sorted phrase
    return 0;
}

I am also attaching the output and code screenshot for your reference.
