This tool takes a list of words in a file as en input, sorts them in alphabetical order and returns them in an out.txt file. It is also possible to ask the tool to use a reverse ordering and/or to delete duplicates.

Usage

The usage is very simple you can use this as a command line input.

WordsSorting --reverse --unique /path/to/input.txt

This tool also has a --help option to remind you how it works.

Posible evolutions/limitations

Because of the recommended time frame here are possible improvements or limitations for this projects

Integrate a unit testing suite: this was not done because I have never integrated a unit test suite in a brand new project like this so it would have taken me too much time
Add an option to specify an output file instead of just using the currently hardcoded out.txt
Define a way to filter/validate in input "words" after qualifying what counts as a word and what processing is allowed
- What to do with leading/trailing spaces?
- Are we supporting only a single word per line or are we accepting small sentences?
Gracefully support non-ascii/non-basic characters: this was done for simplicity but currently there is no graceful support for accents (for example consider that é is right after e and not far at the end of the alphabet)
Gracefully support other alphabets: only the latin alphabets with basic encoding is currently supported
Improve the repository setup as I am fairly certian this is not the celanest way to present a C++ project but it is not something I do oftent at all on my time
