You are printing A[i] where I =4, not in your array range. What you need to print is A[max] where you need to find maximum size string position in array.. Like

int min=0,max=0;

maxi=strlen(A[0]);
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
if(strlen(A[i])>maxi)
max=i; //store position index

cout<<"The largest string is:"<<A[max]<<endl;

Edit : update maxi value also...
Next for minimum is same. Try and reply if you don't get..

Answer 3

string a,b,c;

cin>>a>>b>>c;

cout<<"Longest:";
a.size()>b.size()?a.size()>c.size()?cout<<a:cout<<c:b.size()>c.size()?cout<<b:cout<<c;

cout<<"\nShortest:";
a.size()<b.size()?a.size()<c.size()?cout<<a:cout<<c:b.size()<c.size()?cout<<b:cout<<c;

Answer 4

#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>
using namespace std;

int main(){
char * str[3] = {"Hello","Planet","Mars"};
if(strlen(str[0]) > strlen(str[1]) && strlen(str[0]) > strlen(str[2]))
cout << str[0];
else if(strlen(str[1]) > strlen(str[2]))
cout << str[1];
else
cout << str[2];

if(strlen(str[0]) < strlen(str[1]) && strlen(str[0]) < strlen(str[2]))
cout << str[0];
else if(strlen(str[1]) < strlen(str[2]))
cout << str[1];
else
cout << str[2];

return 0;
}

OK. Update maxi value also....
Now check by this:

mini=maxi=strlen(A[0]);

for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
if((int)strlen(A[i])>maxi){
maxi=strlen(A[i]);
max=i;
}
}
cout<<"The largest string is:"<<A[max]<<endl;
