I have this code for sorting strings:
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
int x = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
List<string> sampleList = new List<string>();
for (int i=0; i<x; i++)
{
string word = Console.ReadLine();
sampleList.Add(word);
}
foreach (string s in SortByLength(sampleList))
{
Console.Write(s);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
static IEnumerable<string> SortByLength(IEnumerable<string> e)
{
// Use LINQ to sort the array received and return a copy.
var sorted = from s in e
orderby s.Length descending
select s;
return sorted;
}
}
This code sorting strings by length, how can I do that by length and lexicographically ?
Example
//Input
4
abba
abacaba
bcd
er
//Output
abacabaabbabcder
In this case work fine, but when I have
//Input
5
abba
ebacaba
bcd
er
abacaba
//Output
ebacabaabacabaabbabcder
My first string is ebacaba which is wrong.
You can use thenby :
static IEnumerable<string> SortByLength(IEnumerable<string> e)
{
// Use LINQ to sort the array received and return a copy.
var sorted = e.OrderByDescending(s=>s.Length).ThenBy(r=>r);
return sorted;
}
