How to search in string array in C

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h> 
 
#define ROW 5
#define COL 10
 
int searchArray2D(char arr2d[][COL], char *tofind);

int main(void)
{
    char arr2d[ROW][COL] = {"c", "c++", "csharp", "java", "php"};
    
    if (searchArray2D(arr2d, "c++")) 
        printf("Found\n"); // Found
    else
        printf("Not Found\n");
        
    if (searchArray2D(arr2d, "python")) 
        printf("Found\n");
    else
        printf("Not Found\n"); // Not Found

    return 0;
}

int searchArray2D(char arr2d[][COL], char *tofind)
{
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < ROW; i++) 
    {
        if (strstr(arr2d[i], tofind) != NULL) 
            return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
