Sort string arrays using bubble sort

25 New Member
I am doing a program for Intro to Computer Programming where we take an array of strings and we must sort them alphabetically. we are supposed to use a bubble sort, but i know the code if meant for integers. How do i get a bubble sort to put names in alphabetical order?

Use the strcmp() method. It accepts two string arguments and returns -1 if the first is less than the second, 1 if the first is greater than the second, and 0 if the strings are the same. Use this to compare the strings rather than > or <.
