copied!<p>Here is the working copy of the program:</p> <pre><code>#include <cstdio> #include <cstdlib> #include <cstring> char** bubble_sort(const char **filenames, int n) { int i; char **new_list; new_list = (char**) malloc(sizeof(*new_list) * n); for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { new_list[i] = (char*) filenames[i]; } printf("Initial list:\n"); for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { printf("%d: %s\n", i, new_list[i]); } int x; int y; printf("List is sorted:\n"); for(x=0; x<n; x++) { for(y=0; y<n-1; y++) { if(strcmp(new_list[y],new_list[y+1])>0) { char *temp = new_list[y+1]; new_list[y+1] = new_list[y]; new_list[y] = temp; } } } for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { printf("%d: %s\n", i, new_list[i]); } return new_list; } int main(){ const char *ar[5]={ "eee", "aaa", "bbb", "ccc", "ddd", }; bubble_sort(ar, 5); return (0); } </code></pre> <p>Still, keep in mind that your programming style resembles more to C than C++ (which is not always a bad thing).</p> <p>If you want to allocate new strings for your array elements, you should change the first for like this:</p> <pre><code>for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { //new_list[i] = (char*) filenames[i]; new_list[i] = (char*) malloc(sizeof(**new_list) * (strlen(filenames[i]) + 1)); strcpy(new_list[i], filenames[i]); } </code></pre> <p>And this is the <strong>C</strong> version (first one was the C++ version). Note that the string array has all its elements newly allocated, and is not using the initial strings from the input parameter.:</p> <pre><code>#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> char** bubble_sort(char **filenames, int n) { int i; char **new_list; new_list = malloc(sizeof(*new_list) * n); for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { //new_list[i] = (char*) filenames[i]; new_list[i] = malloc(sizeof(**new_list) * (strlen(filenames[i]) + 1)); strcpy(new_list[i], filenames[i]); } printf("Initial list:\n"); for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { printf("%d: %s\n", i, new_list[i]); } int x; int y; printf("List is sorted:\n"); for(x=0; x<n; x++) { for(y=0; y<n-1; y++) { if(strcmp(new_list[y],new_list[y+1])>0) { char *temp = new_list[y+1]; new_list[y+1] = new_list[y]; new_list[y] = temp; } } } for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { printf("%d: %s\n", i, new_list[i]); } return new_list; } int main(){ char *ar[5]={ "eee", "aaa", "bbb", "ccc", "ddd", }; bubble_sort(ar, 5); return (0); } </code></pre>
