Hi.
Quote:
Thank you. I didn't know that until now. It sure is useful. I only need the sorting algorithm now, but it is giving me problems. Sorry for the english... some words might be writen wrong (I'm romanian).
You are welcome. I think your English is very good, certainly far better than my Romanian would be (a sister-in-law of mine is of Romanian descent. Her father has a strong accent, but I have only heard him speak English. We call him
Mike, and I recall that he was named after King Michael. But I digress.)
If you mean you are looking for a description of
qsort, see
Quicksort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I usually start with man pages, then Wikipedia, then Google.
Best of luck ... cheers, drl
