Sort Strings in C
To sort strings in alphabetical order in C programming, you have to
ask to the user to enter some set of strings (5 strings here).
Now start comparing one strings with other and sort all the strings in alphabetical order then display all the strings in
alphabetical order as shown here in the following program.
C Programming Code to Sort Strings in Alphabetical Order
Following C program ask to the user to enter five strings like names to sort them in alphabetical order then display the
sorted strings in alphabetical order on the screen:
/* C Program - Sort Strings */
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
char str[5][20], t[20];
int i, j;
printf("Enter any five string (name) : ");
for(i=0; i<5; i++)
{
scanf("%s",str[i]);
}
for(i=1; i<5; i++)
{
for(j=1; j<5; j++)
{
if(strcmp(str[j-1], str[j])>0)
{
strcpy(t, str[j-1]);
strcpy(str[j-1], str[j]);
strcpy(str[j], t);
}
}
}
printf("Strings (Names) in alphabetical order : \n");
for(i=0; i<5; i++)
{
printf("%s\n",str[i]);
}
getch();
}
When the above c program is compile and executed, it will produce the following result:
