C program to print Strings in ascending order

Ex: Write a C program to print Strings in ascending order. How to write a C program to print Strings in ascending order. C program to print Strings in ascending order. 

Input from user:

Enter the number: 5

Enter the strings:

java

css

html

python 

ruby

Expected output:

Sorted strings are:

css

html

java

python

ruby

In below program to print strings in ascending order we will use string functions but, first we need to declare <string.h> header file in our program because, these string functions are defined in this <string.h> header file.

->Input output functions in C.

->Array in C.

->for loop in C.

Program:

#include<stdio.h>

#include<string.h>

void main()

{

   int i,j,no;

   char a[20][20],temp[20];

   /*Accept input number from  user*/

   puts("Enter the number:");

   scanf("%d",&no);

   /*Accept strings using gets() string function and store it in array a*/

   puts("Enter strings:");

   for(i=0;i<=no;i++)

      gets(a[i]);

   for(i=0;i<=no;i++)

   {

      for(j=i+1;j<=no;j++)

      {

         /*Compare two strings using strcmp() string function*/

         if(strcmp(a[i],a[j])>0)

         {

            /*Copy one string to another string using strcpy() string function*/

            strcpy(temp,a[i]);

            strcpy(a[i],a[j]);

            strcpy(a[j],temp);

         }

      }

   }

   /*Print sorted strings using puts() string function*/

   printf("\nSorted Strings are:");

   for(i=0;i<=no;i++)

      puts(a[i]);

   

}

Above program shows the following output:
