How to find the shortest string size in array of strings in C

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
      
#define ROWS 5
#define COLS 10
  
int shortest_string_size(char arr[][COLS]) {
    int min = strlen(arr[0]);

    for (int i = 1; i < ROWS; i++) {
        int size = strlen(arr[i]);
        if (size < min) {
            min = size;
        }
    }
 
    return min;
}
   
int main() {
    char arr[ROWS][COLS] = {"c++", "c#", "python", "java", "php"}; 
       
    printf("%d", shortest_string_size(arr));
   
    return 0;
}
