c - sorting strings with bubble sort algorithm -

this code stores number of words in integer variable , words in multidimensionnel string sorts words alphabetically using function. problem have in function call.

#include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> void sort(char*[50],int); int main () {     int i,n=0;     char s[50][10];      scanf("%d",&n);//scaning number of words      for(i=0;i<=n;i++)//scaning words     gets(s[i]);      sort(s,n);      for(i=0;i<=n;i++)//printing words sorted     printf("%s\n",s[i]); } void sort(char*s[50],int n) {     int i,j,cmp;     char tmp[1][10];      //bubble sorting of words     for(i=0; i<n; i++)         for(j=0; j<n-1; j++)         {             cmp=strcmp(s[j],s[j+1]);              if(cmp>0)             {                 strcpy(tmp[0],s[j+1]);                 strcpy(s[j+1],s[j]);                 strcpy(s[j],tmp[0]);             }            } } 

turn on warnings. char s[50][50] not convertible char*.

try this:

void sort(char(*)[50],int); 

this tells compiler pass in pointer @ least 1 buffer of 50 characters. multidimensional arrays decay when passed functions.

and further rid of silly notion "char[] same char*", reason still taught everywhere, read this: http://c-faq.com/aryptr/aryptr2.html
