Assignment 4

Write a program that finds the shortest and the longest names from a list of English names. The program first reads the number of English names, and then reads the list of English names. The program outputs the shortest and the longest names. If there are multiple shortest names of the same length, sort those names in alphabetical order, and output the first English name. For example, if the shortest names are

Adey  Bell  Alex  Bill

Sorting the above in alphabetical order leads to

Adey  Alex  Bell  Bill

The program should output Adey as the shortest name. Similarly, if there are multiple longest names of the same length, sort those names in alphabetical order, and output the last English name. For example, if the longest names are

Zitella  Yalonda  Zabrina  Yolande

Sorting the above in alphabetical order leads to

Yalonda  Yolande  Zabrina  Zitella

The program should output Zitella as the longest English name. A complete example is given below.

Program Input

Enter the number of English names: 6

Enter English names: Bill Camel Alex Alexandrina Zitella Yolande 

Program Output

Shortest name: Alex

Longest name: Alexandrina
