To find the anagram in a string array

To find the anagram in a string array

Question:

It’s about anagram. Input was the array of strings and a word was given to find whether it has anagram in the given array.

Logic:

  • Get the string array to check and also a word to check.
  • Find the length of string array b[].
  • Then generate all combinations of the string using the find combination logic.
  • Pass the combination, a, l value, and size of b[] to the function.
  • Compare a with b[] using strcmp() function.
  • If found means print “found” with its location.
  • Otherwise, check all other combinations.

Program:


#include<stdio.h>
int find(char a[],char *b[],int m,int l)
{
	int i;
	for(i=0;i<m;i++)
	{
		if(strcmp(a,b[i])==0)     //checks for string in b[]
		{       l=1;
			printf("%s is anagram found at %d\n",b[i],i+1); //prints when found with location
		}
	}
	return l;
}
void main()
{
	char a[20],*b[]={"tea","play","you","eat"};
	int i,j,n,k,temp,m=0,l=0;
	clrscr();
	printf("enter the string:");
	gets(a);
	n=strlen(a);
	for(i=0;b[i]!='\0';i++)      //find the length of b[]
	{
		m++;
	}
	for(j=0;j<n;j++) //generate all combinations of string 
        { 
                for(k=n-1;k>0;k--)
		{
			temp=a[k];
			a[k]=a[k-1];
			a[k-1]=temp;
			l=find(a,b,m,l);     //pass to function for comparison
		}
	}
	if(l==0)                     //no anagram found
	{
		printf("No annagram found");
	}
	getch();
}
