Sub Main()
Dim str(10), t As Char
Dim s As String
Dim i, j, k As Integer
Console.WriteLine("Sorting Characters is given Array")
Console.WriteLine("***************************")
Console.WriteLine("Input")
Console.WriteLine("------")
Console.WriteLine("Enter the string :")
s = Console.ReadLine ()
For Each element In s
str = s
k=k+1
Next
Console.WriteLine("Output")
Console.WriteLine("--------")
For i = 0 To k - 1
For j = 0 To k - 1
If (str(i) < str(j)) Then
t = str(i)
str(i) = str(j)
str(j) = t
End If
Next j
Next i
Console.WriteLine("Sorting string is:")
For i = 0 To k - 1
Console.WriteLine(str(i))
Next i
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
