Sample programs on Strings - C Programming
Write a C program to arrange names in Alphabetical order
Arranging names in alphabetical order is nothing but the string sorting means that the names are arranged in either ascending or descending order by comparing each of the name.
Here, first of all, we have to capture the names into an array up to the keyword END encounters from the keyboard. Then we can compare the first string with subsequent strings using selection sort method if it gives greater than zero comparison result then move them to appropriate place using another variable until all strings are compared.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
main()
{
char names[20][20], temp[10], c;
int i,j,k,n=0;
printf("Enter Names to stop type keyword END ………..\n");
scanf("%s", names[n]);
while(strcmp(names[n], "END") > 0)
{
n++;
scanf("%s", names[n]);
}
printf("\n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
printf("%10s", names[i]);
printf("\n");
printf("\n");
printf("Number of Names.................... %d\n", n);
for(i=0;i<n‒1;i++)
{
for(j=i+1;j<n;j++)
{
if (strcmp(names[i], names[j])>0)
{
strcpy(temp, names[i]);
strcpy (names[i], names[j]);
strcpy(names[j], temp);
}
}
printf("After Sorting the Names are.....\n");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
printf("%10s", names[i]);
printf("\n");
}
OUTPUT
Enter Names to stop type keyword END……..
suji lak muni anil durga anil chiru babu END
suji lak muni anil durga anil chiru babu
Number of Names ………. 8
After Sorting the Names are …..
anil anil babu chiru durga lak muni suji
