I'm new to strings...

void sortWords(char wordList[][WORD_SIZE], int wordCounts[], int numWords)
{
  int i, j;
  int min, temp;
  char *k;


for (i = 0; i < numWords-1; i++)
  {
    min = i;
    for (j = i+1; j < numWords; j++)
    {
      if (strcmp(wordList[j], wordList[min]) < 0)
        min = j;
    }
    k = wordList[i];
    wordList[i] = wordList[min];
    wordList[min] = k;
    
	temp = wordCounts[i];
    wordCounts[i] = wordCounts[min];
    wordCounts[min] = temp;
  
  
  }
  
  
}

I'm getting problems in lines 16-18 about variable types. Can someone tell me what I'm not getting? It looks especially silly now, I think, because I was messing with it to try to get it to work just now.

Thanks to anyone who can help out.

Arrays and pointers in this case aren't the same thing. You are attempting to "copy" strings by swapping pointers.

lines 16-18 are all wrong. You have to memcpy() or strcpy().
