C program to sort character array (string) in ascending order

Below is the simple C program that will accept the character string from the user, calculates the length of the string and performs sorting operation on the string. The program will sort the character array in ascending order and display the result string (character array). Here we go, #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { clrscr(); int i,j; char *arr; //accept character array string from user printf(“Enter character string: “); gets(arr); //get the length of array in the variable counter int counter = 0; while(arr[counter] != NULL){ counter = counter + 1; } //apply ascending sorting algorithm for(i=0; i<counter; i++) { for(j=i;...

sscanf and sprintf functions

sscanf() function is used to extract strings from the given string. Consider, char *str = “Learn C Online”; If we want to extract “Learn”, “C” and “Online” in a different variable then it can be done using sscanf function. Syntax: sscanf(characterArray, “Conversion specifier”, address of variables); This will extract the data from the character array according to the conversion specifier and store into the respective variables. sscanf() will read subsequent characters until a whitespace is found (whitespace characters are blank, newline and tab). Let us understand this using an example. char *str = “Learn C Online”; char *first, *second, *third;...

String handling functions in C

In this article, you will understand different string handling functions in C. By the end of this article, you will learn how to write C programs to perform the following string operations –  find the length of a string, compare 2 strings, copy one string to another, concatenate 2 strings, etc. Following are some of the useful string handling functions in C. strlen() strcpy() strncpy() strcat() strncat() strcmp() strncmp() strcmpi() strncmpi() These string handling functions are defined in string.h header file. Hence you need to include this header file whenever you use these string handling functions in your C program....
