String: Exercise:-5

Program Name: B.Tech. (CSE)


Ex-1 : C Program to Sort Elements in Lexicographical Order
(Dictionary Order)
In this example, you will learn to sort 5 strings entered by the user in the
lexicographical order (dictionary order).
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
char str[5][50], temp[50];
printf("Enter 5 words: ");

// Getting strings input


for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
fgets(str[i], sizeof(str[i]), stdin);
}
Continue…

// storing strings in the lexicographical order


for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < 5; ++j) {

// swapping strings if they are not in the lexicographical order


if (strcmp(str[i], str[j]) > 0) {
strcpy(temp, str[i]);
strcpy(str[i], str[j]);
strcpy(str[j], temp);
}
}
}
Continue…

printf("\nIn the lexicographical order: \n");


for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
fputs(str[i], stdout);
}
return 0;
}
Output
