Strncmp is a predefined library function present in string.h file, it used to compare two strings and display which string is greater.The strcmp fucntion (String comparison)This function compares 2 strings. It returns the ASCII difference of the first two non– matching characters in both the strings.Syntaxint strcmp (string1, string2);If the difference is equal to zero, then string1 = string2.If the difference is positive, then string1> string2.If the difference is negative, then string1 0) {       printf("%s is greater than %s", string1, string2);    } else {       printf("%s is less than %s", string1, string2);    } ...

A pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable.Features of PointersPointer saves the memory space.The execution time of a pointer is faster because of direct access to memory location.With the help of pointers, the memory is accessed efficiently, i.e., memory is allocated and deallocated dynamically.Pointers are used with data structures.Declaring a pointerint *p;It means ‘p’ is a pointer variable that holds the address of another integer variable.Initialization of a pointerAddress operator (&) is used to initialize a pointer variable.For example, int qty = 175; int *p; p= &qty;Accessing a variable through its pointerTo access the value of ...

In this program, we are adding random numbers that are generated in between 0 and 100.After every runtime, the result of sum of random numbers is different, i.e., we get a different result for every execution.The logic we use to calculate the sum of random numbers in between 0 to 100 is −for(i = 0; i

ProblemHow to store the cricketer’s data in tabular form in sorted order based on average runs using structures in C Programming language.SolutionLet’s try to enter the cricketer information such as name, age, no of matches and average runs he scored.
