Program to sort a number of words using merge sort.

OBJECTIVE-Write a C program to Sort the N Names in an Alphabetical Order.
ALGORITHM-
-Start from the first name and compare it with all other names
-if it is lexicographically large from others then swap both of them
-Repeat this process for n-1 names 



CODE-

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<time.h>
void merge(char a[][30],long int l,long int m,long int r)
{
    long int i,j,k;
    long int n1=m-l+1;
    long int n2=r-m;
    char la[n1][30],ra[n2][30];
    for(i=0;i<n1;i++)
    strcpy(la[i],a[l+i]);
    for(j=0;j<n2;j++)
    strcpy(ra[j],a[m+1+j]);
    i=0;j=0;k=l;
    while(i<n1 && j<n2)
    {
        if(strcmp(la[i],ra[j])<0)
        {
            strcpy(a[k],la[i]);
            i++;
            k++;
        }
        else
        {
            strcpy(a[k],ra[j]);
            j++;
            k++;
        }
    }
    while(i<n1)
    {
        strcpy(a[k],la[i]);
        i++;
        k++;
    }

            j++;
            k++;
    }
}

{
    if(l<r)
    {
        int m=l+(r-l)/2;
        mergesort(a,l,m);
        mergesort(a,m+1,r);
        merge(a,l,m,r);
    }

    scanf("%s",a[i]);
    mergesort(a,0,n-1);    
    printf("after sorting:\n");
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)    
    printf("%s\n",a[i]);
return 0;
