Python Program to Sort Words in Alphabetic Order

In this example, we illustrate how words can be sorted lexicographically (alphabetic order).

Source Code

# Program to sort alphabetically the words form a string provided by the user

my_str = "Hello this Is an Example With cased letters"

# To take input from the user
#my_str = input("Enter a string: ")

# breakdown the string into a list of words
words = [word.lower() for word in my_str.split()]

# sort the list
words.sort()

# display the sorted words

print("The sorted words are:")
for word in words:
   print(word)

Output

The sorted words are:
an
cased
example
hello
is
letters
this
with

Note: To test the program, change the value of my_str.

In this program, we store the string to be sorted in my_str. Using the split() method the string is converted into a list of words. The split() method splits the string at whitespaces.

The list of words is then sorted using the sort() method, and all the words are displayed.
