I know how to print a single string vertically.
char test[100] = "test";
int i;
for(i=0;i<strlen(test);i++){
printf("%c\n",test[i]);
}
Which will give me:
t
e
s
t
But how can I print an array of strings vertically? For example:
char listOfTest[2][10] = {"testing1","quizzing"};
So it can return:
tq
eu
si
tz
iz
gi
1g
>Solution :
Simply print a character from both strings.
(Better to test for the null character rather than repeatedly call strlen().)
for(i = 0; listOfTest[0][i] && listOfTest[1][i]; i++) {
printf("%c%c\n", listOfTest[0][i], listOfTest[1][i]);
}
To extend to n strings …
size_t num_of_strings = sizeof listOfTest/sizeof listOfTest[0];
bool done = false;
for (size_t i = 0; listOfTest[0][i] && !done; i++) {
for (size_t n = 0; n < num_of_strings; n++) {
if (listOfTest[n][i] == '\0') {
done = true;
break;
}
printf("%c", listOfTest[n][i]);
}
printf("\n");
}
