I need to sort a list of names in alphabetical order, but can't figure out how I'd get to do that. Here's the program:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
@names = qw { steve Mary alice Robert MARVIN kENneth tiM } ;
#
foreach $name (@names) {
print "Name = $name\n" ;
} ;
#
print "\nSorted names 1 \n" ;
# New code to sort and print names goes here.
I know to put in
sort @names
foreach $name (@names) {
print "Name: $name \n" ; } ;
Is there a way to get the names in order?
I tried the codes, but all I got was:
Name = MARVIN
Name = Mary
Name = Robert
Name = alice
Name = kENneth
Name = steve
Name = tiM
There's no way to get it to sort them so alice is first, then kEN, and so on?
