In often situation you are required to sort the in alphabetic order arrays in the applications , by sorting in the alphabetic order mean arrange the strings according the characters
e.g

mani
abc
pakistan
world
mbni
yahoo

The sorted list will be like
abc
mani
mbni
pakistan
world
yahoo

This is a bit complex sorting in the all the characters of the string are compared e.g “mani” has come before the word “mbni” , As first character was same then the second character was compared. And according to 2nd character “mani” was place before “mbni”

Assignment

Your assignment is little simple you will take Names as input , and then sort names according to bases of first character of that Name in ascending order.

Details:

You will prompt the user to enter the Name1, Name 2, Name3 and up to Name10. You will use arrays/pointers to store the names. Then you will compare the fist character of each Name and then sort the Names. Note you can use any search algorithm you want

Here is the sample run of the program

Enter the Names:
Name1: Abc
Name2: Cup
Name3: Altavista
Name4: Yahoo
Name5: Mbni
Name6: Sun
Name7: Mani
Name8: Google
Name9: Pakistan
Name10: Watan

The sorted names are as

Abc
Altavista
Cup
Google
Mbni
Mani
Pakistan
Sun
Watan
Yahoo

Hint:
• You can apply any sorting algorithm you want. Bubble Sort will be easy, first see that bubble sort for the array of integers. Under stand that and then you can easily change for this scenario.

• You will be storing the names some thing like this,

char Name[10][25] ; // Ten Names each 25 character long.

• You can use loop etc to get input and display output.

• You can take input for one name as cin>> name[0];

• You can make strcopy a function to copy one string to another.

• You can compare the first latter like this

if (name[0][0] == name[1][0] ) or if (name[0][0] > name[1][0] ) or if (name[0][0] < name[1][0] )

Bubble sort should be fairly easy for that. What problems are you having with the assignment? If you show us your code so far, we can help you with specific problems, but we will not do the problem for you.
