This would appear to be homework. What have you done so far? Have you researched sorting algorithms?

Solution 2

Just use the String.Compare[^] method.

Use the Array.Sort[^] method to sort the words, and then use a foreach loop[^] to print them in ascending order:

C#

Console.WriteLine("Please enter a random word of your choice : ");
string letter1 = Console.ReadLine();
 
Console.WriteLine("Please enter another word of your choice : ");
string letter2 = Console.ReadLine();

string[] words = new string[] { letter1, letter2 }; // create the array
Array.Sort(words);
foreach (string word in words)
{
     Console.WriteLine(word);
}

Hope this helps.
