Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

/*
   Print the two strings in alphabetical order. Assume the strings are lowercase. End with newline. Sample output:
   capes rabbits
*/

int main() {
   string firstString;
   string secondString;

   firstString = "rabbits";
   secondString = "capes";

cout<< "Testing input"<< " " <<firstString << " " << secondString <<endl;

   /* Your solution goes here */
   if (firstString < secondString){
       cout << firstString << " " << secondString <<endl;
       //cout<< "output is correct";
   }
   else{
       cout << secondString << " " << firstString << endl;
   }

   return 0;
}
