I have written this qsort:

When I call this on

char *strarr[5];

There should be an option for arguments passed around in those events… >>> More

Hi, Maybe there's no way to solve this the way I'd like it but I don't know everything so I better ask... I've implemented a simple Queue with a dynamic array so the user can initialize with whatever number of items it wants. I'm also trying to use a void pointer as to allow any data type, but that's… >>> More
