Main Page >> Web Application Development >> Workbook >> Mini-task 03

Use everything you have learnt this week to create a single webpage that will:

  • read a list of names from a text file
  • sort them alphabetically and display them on the screen.

So if your text file contains the following data:

Mary
Alix
Thomas
Bob

Your webpage will display

Alix
Bob
Mary
Thomas

How do you sort alphabetically? Easy! Arrays can be sorted with a single command, see online documentation.

So your algorithm should:

  • read each name from the file, and insert them into an array
  • sort the array
  • loop through the sorted array and display each item on the screen.

Good luck!
