Recursion alphabetical

-----------------------------------

Does anyone know how to make a program that you input names into and it will list them alphabetically using recursion. I have a program here that will generate numbers with recursion if this helps, and maybe you can modify it to do names in alphabetical order.

Err, Andy... =/

customae7, if you have code that can sort numbers, you can do virtually the same thing to sort alphabetically.

Just as 
5 < 7
is valid (and returns true),
"bar" < "foo"
is also valid (and returns true, because "bar" is alphabetically less than "foo").

With that, do you still have a question? :)

Not entirely sure what that code is meant to do, it just looks like you initialize ... something?

You can sort names with the  operators. 

Like Cervantes said, the same way you can test 100 < 100 ? true:false, abc is a number of a differnt data type. abc < abz ? true : false
