    sort not working why??

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    int intcmp(const void *v1, const void *v2);
    
    int main(void)
    {
       char *array[8] = { "India", "Africa","America","London","Neyyork","Newjersy","WestLife","Fremee"};
       int cnt,i;
       cnt = sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0]);
    
       printf("%d", cnt);
    
       qsort(array , cnt , sizeof( array[0]) , intcmp);
    
       for ( i = 0;  i < 8; i++ ){
           printf("%s\n", array[i] );
       }
    
    
    
          system("PAUSE");
          return 0;
    }
    int intcmp(const void *v1, const void *v2)
    {
          return (*(int *)v1 - *(int *)v2);
    }

    Probably because your comparison function sucks? You're comparing strings. Ever hear of strcmp?

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
