// C Program for counting sort

// alphabatical order

char output[strlen(arr)];

// Create a count array to store count of inidividul
// characters and initialize count array as 0

memset(count, 0, sizeof(count));

// Store count of each character
for(i = 0; arr[i]; ++i)

// Change count[i] so that count[i] now contains actual
// position of this character in output array
for (i = 1; i <= RANGE; ++i)

// Build the output character array
for (i = 0; arr[i]; ++i)

For Stable algorithm
