hi comwizz ,
n hi 2 every1 else readin d reply . m a new member in the club.i dont get exactly wat u hve typed.... but i see in the foll code u has used j as a variable n incremented i... so look out..
/*
for(j=0;j<l_no;i++)
{
*/

Heres my corrected code. Still , I am having problems , that when two lines are entered by the user , after sorting the words of the first line , the word length of second line as well as the contents of the second line are not taken. Why is this happennin'?? Also I have to do the entire exercise using pointers and not use vectors or arrays. any inputs are welcome.
Thanks,
comwizz
Heres the code.

Your teacher is asking you to use the c++ language to do an assignment with just one caveat - you can't actually use a single function associated with c++ to help make things easier. :rolleyes: Does that not sound odd to you?

Actually comwizz has learnt c and is still learning c++... so in the assignment it(the program) requires the programmer to use basically c logics with cin and cout statments and include iostream header files.. without using all the string and vectors concepts...
