Given the array of strings beatles whose contents include j

Given the array of strings beatles[ ] whose contents include “john”, “paul”, “george” and “ringo”, build a search function called search() that will search the list for names to see whether they were one of the Beatles or not. Start with

char * beatles[4] = {“john”, “paul”, “george”, “ringo”};

Now write a search function to search this array and see whether “george” and “ringo” are in that list. Then check to see whether “mick” and “bruce” are on that list.

Solution

char * beatles[4] = {“john”, “paul”, “george”, “ringo”};
int search(char *str)
{
   int i,c;
   c=0;
   for(i=0;i<4;i++)
   {
       c=strcmp(*(beatles+i),*str);
       if(c==0)
       {
           printf(\"found\ \");
           return;
       }
   }
   printf(\"not found\");
}
