// Sort an array of words by length

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define ROWS 6
#define MAXLEN 20

int compare (const void * a, const void * b) {
    size_t fa = strlen((const char *)a);
    size_t fb = strlen((const char *)b);
    return (fa > fb) - (fa < fb);
}
    // Original string array
    char list[ROWS][MAXLEN] = {
        "Alice", "Bob", "Marmaduke", "Charlie", "Eve", "David"
    };
    
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int x;
    puts("unsorted:");
    for (x=0;x<sizeof(list)/sizeof(list[0]);x++)
        printf("%s\n",list[x]);
    printf("\n");
    
	// Sort in descending order by length    
    qsort(list, ROWS, MAXLEN, compare);

    puts("sorted:");
    for (x=0;x<sizeof(list)/sizeof(list[0]);x++)
        printf("%s\n",list[x]);
//  system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
