Question

Create program which sorts letters of a string based on ASCII value. The program will then print the sorted string to stdout. Use C programming language.

- Only use stdio.h

- Input prompt should say "Enter string of your choice: "

- Remove any newline \n from input string

- Implement sorting operation as a function. Should use selection sort algorithm, but you may use a different algorithm

- Output should print sorted string on new line

Example:

    Enter string of your choice: Vex'ahlia

    'Vaaehilx

#include<stdio.h>

void selectionSort(char* s){
   int i, j;
   char temp;
   int min_index;
   for(i=0; s[i]!='\0'; i++){
      min_index = i;
      for(j=i+1; s[j]!='\0'; j++){
          if(s[min_index]>s[j]){
              min_index = j;
           }
       }
       temp = s[i];
       s[i] = s[min_index];
       s[min_index] = temp;
     
   }
  
  
}

int main(){
  
   char word[101];
  
   printf("Enter string of your choice: ");
   scanf("%s",word);
  
   selectionSort(word);
   printf("%s", word);

   return 0;
}
