Sample Solution: -
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>Returns a passed string with letters in alphabetical order</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
function alphabet_order(str)
{
return str.split('').sort().join('');
}
console.log(alphabet_order("webmaster"));
Sample Output:
abeemrstw
Explanation:
The split() method is used to split a String object into an array of strings by separating the string into substrings.Code : console.log('32243'.split(""));
Output : ["3", "2", "2", "4", "3"]
The sort() method is used to sort the elements of an array in place and returns the array.
Code : console.log(["3", "2", "2", "4", "3"].sort());
Output : ["2", "2", "3", "3", "4"]
The join() method is used to join all elements of an array into a string.
Code : console.log(["2", "2", "3", "3", "4"].join(""));
Output : "22334"

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Shorten an array using its length property
A great way of shortening an array is by redefining its length property.
let array = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9] array.length = 4 // Result: [0, 1, 2, 3]
Important to know though is that this is a destructive way of changing the array. This means you lose all the other values that used to be in the array.
