String sort run error

#1


HERE IS THE LINK TO MY CODE TEST CASE 1 IS SHOWING TIME ERROR ON RUNNING KINDLY TELL THE MISTAKE…

#2

Hello @Madhavendra-Gupta-2240591552663161,

There are two issues with your stringsort() function:

  1. Run-error
    Reason:
    There is no return statement for the case when l1>l2.

  2. Wrong Answer
    Reason:
    You are comparing only the first character and then comparing the lengths.
    Example:
    4
    ab
    apple
    bat
    batman
    Your Output:
    apple
    ab
    batman
    bat
    Expected Output:
    ab
    apple
    batman
    bat

Hope, this would help.
Give a like if you are satisfied.

Hey @Madhavendra-Gupta-2240591552663161,

Let’s understand that segment of code:
bool stringsort(string a,string b)
{
int i=0;
#To compare the corresponding elements of both the strings.
#This will overcome the error specified in point 2. in my previous reply.
while(a[i]==b[i]) i++;
#if all elements of string a are in string b, then a is a prefix of b
#return false i.e. a will come after b in the sorted sequence
if(a[i]==’\0’) return false;
#if all elements of string b are in string a, then b is a prefix of a
#return true i.e. a will come before b in the sorted sequence
else if(b[i]==’\0’) return true;
#else i.e. if neither a is prefix of b or b is prefix of a
#return true if a is lexicographicaly smaller than b else return false.
return a < b;
}

Hope, this would help.
