I read that is why I am asking
…
a)
then why u are taking input as char?
u are given n lines and in each line first u have string and then its price. u will need pair of string and int for that to stpre each gorcery info
b) also their is no point of sorting the char array, u need to sort based on price and for that u need to write a custom comparator that will take pair and order them based on price.
u shuld know about strings, array , sorting ,custom comparators ,pairs to sove this problem.
but can’t we do by using only strings as number can also be taken as in input?
…
no, sorting of number is done on the basis of magnitude and sign whereas in string its lexigraphical based.
