It is required to input 5 strings of strings through the keyboard, and then call the function sort to arrange the strings from large to small, and then call the print function to complete the string output.

Earned from a C language practice platform, only for this sharing...

Code display:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
void sort(char *name[],int n);
void print(char *name[],int n);
int main()
{
    
    
    char *name[5];
    char a[31],b[31],c[31],d[31],e[31];
    int i,n=5;
    name[0]=a;name[1]=b;name[2]=c;name[3]=d;name[4]=e;
	
	printf("Please input 5 strings:");
	for(i=0;i<5;i++)
	gets(name[i]);
	printf("Output:\n");
	sort(name,5);
    printf("After the strings are sorted the result:\n");
	print(name,5);
	return 0;
}
void sort(char *name[],int n)
{
    
    
   int i,j;
   char *temp;
   for(i=0;i<4;i++)
   {
    
    
	   for(j=0;j<4-i;j++)
	   {
    
    
	   if(strcmp(name[j],name[j+1])>0)
	   {
    
    
		   temp=name[j];
		   name[j]=name[j+1];
		   name[j+1]=temp;
	   }
	   }
   }
}
void print(char *name[],int n)
{
    
    
	int i;
	for(i=0;i<5;i++)
	{
    
    
		printf("%s\n",name[i]);
	}
}

Code analysis:

char *name[5];
    char a[31],b[31],c[31],d[31],e[31];
    int i,n=5;
    name[0]=a;name[1]=b;name[2]=c;name[3]=d;name[4]=e;
	

This part is actually a two-dimensional character array, considering that I wrote the following code here:

	char *name[5][30];
	int i,n=5;

The two writing methods are exactly the same when the black box appears for input, if written as char *name[5]; it will be terminated.

Although the second type of writing is exactly the same as the first type of input, it takes into account the formal parameters of the two sub-functions, as follows:

void sort(char *name[],int n);
void print(char *name[],int n);

with

	char *name[5][30];
	int i,n=5;

The char *name[5][30]; does not match, and the two sub-functions cannot be called after inputting the data.
Therefore, when you press Enter, the program will crash and close the black box directly.
I guess my writing should be that the three-dimensional character array does not match the sub-function

the following:

void sort(char *name[],int n)
{
    
    
   int i,j;
   char *temp;
   for(i=0;i<4;i++)
   {
    
    
	   for(j=0;j<4-i;j++)
	   {
    
    
	   if(strcmp(name[j],name[j+1])>0)
	   {
    
    
		   temp=name[j];
		   name[j]=name[j+1];
		   name[j+1]=temp;
	   }
	   }
   }
}

This part of the code is a simple numeric bubble sort applied to the sorting of a two-dimensional character array.
