Sorting Exercise- Diemecha Hilliard and Betsy McDonald

Our Algorithm for sorting was to group the words according to their first letter so that all of the words starting with A are together, B together, and so on through Z. Once the words are in piles of all of the same first letter, you alphabatize each pile by looking at the second letter, then third letter and so forth.

Questions

  1. 6 words begin with the letter M
  2. upperclassman
  3. 109 words total
  4. No, the word "preternatural" is not in the list
  5. 8 words end in the letter s
  6. 29 words that begin with a vowel
  7. metamorphose is the 66th word
  8. chloroplast is the 13th word
  9. SKIP
  10. Knickerbocker
  11. tablespoonful is the 100th word

Did you refuse to answer 1 of the above questions

Yes, we skipped question 9 because we are lazy and that question would require examininig each word closely.

Did you organize the words in any special order besides just sorted to answer the questions above?

No, we just alphabatized them to answer the questions
