What is the program /code to find index of a string in another string array?(C language)

Question

The searching algorithm will have two inputs: the playlist, which is a string array that contains a list of songs in alphabetical order; and a particular song, which is a string. If the song is found in the list, the algorithm will return the index of the song, and it will return -1 otherwise.

Please help ne with this code in C language

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int findTarget(char *target, char nameptr[][80], int size);
int main()
{
int num, i;
char target[100];
char names[10][100];
printf("Enter no. of songs:");
scanf("%d", &num);
printf("Enter %d songs : ", num);
for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
{
scanf("%s", names[i]);
}
printf("Enter target song: ");
fflush(stdin);
scanf("%s", target) ;
printf("findTarget(): %d", findTarget(target, names, num));

}

int findTarget(char *target, char nameptr[][80], int size)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
if (strcmp(target,nameptr[i]) == 0)
{
return i;
}
}
return -1;
}

{
return i;
}
}

Shweta Rajan Nambissan you're welcome..

It has just warning for size not matching.. Everything is fine otherwise..
