04. Suppose a computer program needs to sort a list of student records in ascending order
according to last name. The program language determines sort order by using the
individual ASCII number representations of the characters in each name.
If the initial list contains the following names. Which of the following lists represents
the name order after executing the sorting procedure?
["Tom Smith","Joe Schnook", "Kathy Bones","Jill Brewer"]
(A) ["Smith Tom", "Schnook Joe","Bones Kathy","Brewer Jill"]
(B) ["Joe Schnook","Tom Smith","Jill Brewer", "Kathy Bones"]
(C) ["Jill Brewer","Joe Schnook", "Kathy Bones", "Tom Smith")
(D) ["Kathy Bones","Jill Brewer","Joe Schnook","Tom Smith"]

Answer:

D) ["Kathy Bones", "Jill Brewer", "Joe Schnook", "Tom Smith"]

Explanation:

The context of the problem explains a computer program that sorts names in "ascending order" (A to Z) since the ASCII table has capital A start a lower number and it increases from there to capital Z.

Notice how the attached file, which is a portion of the ASCII table, shows that letters after A are also higher in decimal value than the previous letter.

With this in mind, we know that all this program does is sort by last name alphabetical order. From there, just sort the given names using that same criteria, last name alphabetical order, and the correct answer is determined.
