Alphabetizing the contents of a file, or sorting its contents, is a great way to get comfortable manipulating a file in your program.

Create a program that reads in the following list of names:

Read this program and sort the list alphabetically. Then print the sorted list to a file that looks like the following example output.

Example Output

Constraint

• Don’t hard-code the number of names.

Challenges

• Implement this program by reading in the names from the user, one at a time, and printing out the sorted results to a file.

• Use the program to sort data from a large data set and see how well it performs.

• Implement this program in a functional programming language and compare the programs.
