Need help in C

I have got an assignment to get input of five names and then sort them alphabetically and print them. Seems too simple?? Even I thought at first. But I have got limits, I cant use multidimensional arrays or any functions in the program. But I can use string functions like strcmp, strcpy, etc. I tried it myself but could not do it.

Can anyone please help me??

 

Hai.. i can help you...i have done the code.. its easy..... do you want

 

The code is :

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

void main()
{
int i,j;
char names[5][10],swap[10];

for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
printf("\n Enter the name %d (less than 10 chara): ",i+1);
gets(names);
}

printf("\n");

/*for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
printf("\n name %d : ",i+1);
puts(names);
} */

for(i=0;i<4;i++)
{
for(j=i+1;j<5;j++)
{
if(strcmp(names,names[j])>0)
{
strcpy(swap,names);
strcpy(names,names[j]);
strcpy(names[j],swap);
}
}
}

printf(" Sorted Array \n");
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
printf("\n name %d : ",i+1);
puts(names);
}

}

just paste it in a text editor and name it as .c file.

 

i wont help u how it works... find out yourself and tell your teacher... you should learn something by yourself

 

You are supposed do your own homework.

 

fulllydistributed gives a perfect code,it will work and simple. Did you tried it or not.

 

Thank you Gramyla....

 

@it career's: I didn't ask it without trying it. I could not do it so I just asked for help.

@fullydistributed thanks a lot for the code, it worked!!

@gramyla: Yes the code worked!!
