Python - Sort words separated by Delimiter

Sorting words separated by a delimiter in a string requires a few steps:

  1. Split the string using the specified delimiter to get individual words.
  2. Sort the obtained list of words.
  3. Join the sorted words back together using the same delimiter.

This tutorial will guide you through sorting words that are separated by a specific delimiter.

Step 1: Split the String

To split the string, you can use the split() method:

text = "apple,banana,cherry,dates" words = text.split(",") # Splitting the string using ',' as the delimiter

Step 2: Sort the Words

Now that you have a list of words, you can sort them using the sorted() function:

sorted_words = sorted(words)

Step 3: Join the Sorted Words

Finally, use the join() method to combine the sorted words back into a single string:

sorted_text = ",".join(sorted_words)

Full Code:

Here's the complete code to illustrate the process:

text = "apple,banana,cherry,dates" # Split the string into words words = text.split(",") # Sort the words sorted_words = sorted(words) # Join the sorted words back into a string sorted_text = ",".join(sorted_words) print(sorted_text)

Output:

apple,banana,cherry,dates

Custom Delimiter Example:

If you have a different delimiter, just replace the comma , in the split() and join() functions with your desired delimiter. For instance, if the delimiter is a semicolon ;, you would do:

words = text.split(";") sorted_text = ";".join(sorted_words)

Recap:

To sort words separated by a delimiter in a string:

  1. Split the string into a list of words using the given delimiter.
  2. Sort the list of words.
  3. Join the sorted words back into a string using the same delimiter.
