C++ examples for STL Algorithm:sort
Sorts array of strings with user-written comparison function
#include <iostream> #include <string> // for strcmp() #include <algorithm> using namespace std; // array of strings char* names[] = { "G", "P", "E","D", "M", "B", "P", "E","D", "M", "B" }; bool alpha_comp(char*, char*); // declaration int main()/*from ww w . j a va 2 s . co m*/ { sort(names, names+6, alpha_comp); // sort the strings for(int j=0; j<6; j++) // display sorted strings cout << names[j] << endl; return 0; } bool alpha_comp(char* s1, char* s2) // returns true if s1<s2 { return ( strcmp(s1, s2)<0 ) ? true : false; }
