Sorting Names in Reverse Alphabetical Order
Can you sort the following short names in reverse alphabetic order?
Input: 'Jan Sam Ann Joe Tod'
Answer:
The short names in reverse alphabetic order are: 'Tod', 'Sam', 'Joe', 'Jan', 'Ann'
To sort the list of short names in reverse alphabetical order, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Split the input string into a list of short names.
Given input: 'Jan Sam Ann Joe Tod'
Split into a list: ['Jan', 'Sam', 'Ann', 'Joe', 'Tod']
Step 2: Sort the list in alphabetical order.
Sorted list: ['Ann', 'Jan', 'Joe', 'Sam', 'Tod']
Step 3: Reverse the sorted list.
Reversed list: ['Tod', 'Sam', 'Joe', 'Jan', 'Ann']
So, the final output with the given input 'Jan Sam Ann Joe Tod' is ['Tod', 'Sam', 'Joe', 'Jan', 'Ann'].
The names are first sorted in alphabetical order, and then the sorted list is reversed to obtain the names in reverse alphabetical order.
