Question

Q1) C-Programming

Create a C program to declare an array of 5 pointers to strings and to allocate the exact memory

needed to store strings of less than 8 characters. The program should read 5 strings and display the longest

one. If more than one string is the longest, the program is to display the one found first.

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

#include<string.h>//using strlen

int main()

{

char *array[5]; //Declare an pointer array of character

//declare the character array and storing string

char ch_arr1[8]="spike";

char ch_arr2[8]="aliasga";

char ch_arr3[8]="rehman";

char ch_arr4[8]="tejja";

char ch_arr5[8]="bauji";

//assigning character array to the pointer array

array[0] = ch_arr1;

array[1] = ch_arr2;

array[2] = ch_arr3;

array[3] = ch_arr4;

array[4] = ch_arr5;

int max=0,k; //declaring varaible for max and store maxlength string position

for( int i=0;i<5;i++){

int l=strlen(*(array+i));

if(l>max){ //checking if cuurent string is maximum then change and store

max=l; //changing maximum

k=i; //storing index

}

}

printf("Your name is %s ",*(array+k)); //print the longest string

return 0;

}
