How to check if characters in a string are alphabetically ordered

Question

I have been trying these code but there is something wrong. I simply want to know if the first string is alphabetical.

def alp(s1):
    s2=sorted(s1)
    if s2 i         


        

Answer 1

use something like this:

sorted() returns a list and you're trying to compare a list to a string, so change that list to a string first:

In [21]: "abcd"=="".join(sorted("abcd"))
Out[21]: True

In [22]: "qwerty"=="".join(sorted("qwerty"))
Out[22]: False

#comparsion of list and a string is False
In [25]: "abcd"==sorted("abcd")
Out[25]: False
