lol, yes the type doesn't matter, but just telling him that characters in C are simply numbers

Maybe it's useful...

Solution 1

If, by your question you mean can we sort character in a string using your specified methods, the answer is yes we can.

Not only in a string; could be any container. (So I voted 4.)
The answer is simple. Will you please see mine?

I considered just "Yes", but it was too short, so I had to pad it :(. I also wanted to make the point that sorting "the character" didn't make much sense as a single-item list is inherently sorted (in every possible way??? I'll have to think about this last point)!

Solution 2

Sure, a character is just an unsigned integer, so you can sort just like any integer... whether the result gets you what you're intending to do, that may be a different question. Not sure for the reason you'd want to sort characters, maybe to place list in alphabetical order?? If so, the case of the letters would be important in the sort process.

How the type matters? The only required thing is the comparison operation. (I voted 4 this time.) Look at the question -- what answer does it deserve?
Please see my answer though.
