Thread: Using qsort to sort an array of strings

I understand that qsort will pass my function two char**'s and use it to sort my array of strings. Can someone help me with comparing two strings that were passed to my function as char**'s?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>



static int sortstring( const void **str1, const void **str2 );
typedef int (*funcptr)();

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) 
{
	int inx = 0;
	funcptr p_sortstring;
	char *starr[] = 
	{
		"dog",
		"Arm",
		"Cat",
		"Eric",
		"Bat",
		"Fork",
		"hello",
		"Geroge",
		"Mike",
		"Alabama"
	};
	
	size_t count = sizeof(starr)/sizeof(*starr);
	qsort( starr, count, sizeof(char), p_sortstring );
	for (inx = 0; inx < 10; inx++)
		printf("%s ", starr[inx]);
	
	
	
    
	return 0;
}

static int sortstring( const void **str1, const void **str2 )
{
	int result = 0;
	const char *rec1 = *str1;
	const char *rec2 = *str2;
	int val = strcmp(rec1, rec2);
	
	if ( val < 0 )
	{
		result = -1;
	}
	else if ( val > 0 )
	{
		result = 1;
	}
	else
	{
		result = 0;
	}
	
	return result;
}
