Sort String in Alphabetical Order C++

Sort String in C++

To sort strings in alphabetical order in C++ programming, you have to ask to the user to enter the two string,

now start comparing the strings, if found then make a t variable of same type,

and place the first string to the t, then place second string to the first, then place t to the second string using the function strcpy(),

and continue until last as shown in the following program.

C++ Programming Code to Sort String in Alphabetical Order

Following C++ program ask to the user to enter any five string like names to sort them in alphabetical order

then display the sorted string in alphabetical order on the screen:

 

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
//
char str[5][20], t[20];
int i, j;
//
cout<<"enter any five string(name): ";
for(i=0; i<5;i++)
{
cin>>str[i];

}
//
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<5;j++)
{
if(strcmp(str[j-1], str[j])>0)
{
strcpy(t, str[j-1]);
strcpy(str[j-1],str[j]);
strcpy(str[j], t);
}
}
}
//
cout<<"String (name) in alpaabetical order: \n";
//
for(i=0; i<5;i++)
{
cout<<str[i]<<"\n";
}

return 0;
}
