Sort all the strings ( lexicographically ) but if a string is present completely as a prefix in another string, then string with longer length should come first

hi, i`ll let u know the problem with your code

@ramesh7050042079pd,
Extremely sorry for the delayed reply, got stuck in some place

so, when i tried submiting your code, i see WA for both test cases.
the problem is with the custom sort function that u wrote
lets say string a , string b is being passed
so if
a is substring of b and size of a is less than b
then b should come first
so in that case return b.size() > a.size()
in case b is the substring of a
and a.size() > b.size()
return a.size() > b.size()

else return a < b
below is the piece of code, which works fine

bool comp(string a,string b)
{
if(a.size() <= b.size() and a==b.substr(0,a.length()))
{return false;}
else if (b.size() <= a.size() and b==a.substr(0,b.length()))
{return true;
}
else
return a<b;
}
