Question

let’s say I have a string “hello world”. I would like to end up with ” dehllloorw”. As I don’t find any ready-made solution I thought: I can split the string into a character array, sort it and convert it back to a string.

In perl I can do s// but in .Net I’d have to do a .Split() but there’s no overload with no parameters… if I do .Split(null) it seems to split by whitespace and .Split('') won’t compile.

how do I do this (I hate to run a loop!)?

Answer 1

Array.Sort("hello world".ToCharArray());

Below is a quick demo console app

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            var array = "hello world".ToCharArray();

            Array.Sort(array);

            Console.WriteLine(new String(array));
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
