You are only checking for the first character of both the strings.
Thus, it if failing for the cases:
4
bat
apple
batman
bann
Expected Output:
apple
bann
batman
bat
Your Output:
apple
batman
bat
bann
Hope, this would help.
Give a like if you are satisfied.
I’ve understood my mistake but still stuck in how to correct my code.
Can you help me out in correcting my code??
Sure @prashantverma.vn,
The following code will
- compare both the strings character by character.
- In case of a prefix:
The first two if and else-if conditions are used to find which string among a and b is a prefix. - Else, sort lexicographically.
bool mycompare(string a,string b){
int i=0;
while(a[i]==b[i]) i++;
if(a[i]==’\0’) return false;
else if(b[i]==’\0’) return true;
return a < b;
}
Hope, this would help.

Hello @prashantverma.vn,
You have done a logical error in your compare function.
The while loop is used to compare the two strings.
You are not required to include the if-else statements inside it.
Suggestion:
Dry run compare function for any two strings using pen and paper to understand the logic.
Hope, this would help.
