can anyone help me c++ coding to c coding. For example the cout and cin

#include <cstdio>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
using std::string;


// function to get maximum string of characters

size_t getMaximum(string dum[], int n){
size_t max = dum[0].size();
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++){
    if (dum[i].size()>max)
        max = dum[i].size();
}
return max;
}


void countSort(string a[], int size, size_t k){
string *b = NULL; int *c = NULL;
b = new string[size];
c = new int[257];



for (int i = 0; i <257; i++){
    c[i] = 0;

}
for (int j = 0; j <size; j++){   
    c[k < a[j].size() ? (int)(unsigned char)a[j][k] + 1 : 0]++;            
}

for (int f = 1; f <257; f++){     
    c[f] += c[f - 1];          // ASCII conversion
}

// memory destroy

delete[] b;   // unaddress the pointer b
delete[] c;   // unaddress the pointer c
}

// function to sort the array of strings of characters 

void radixSort(string holder[], int res){
size_t max = getMaximum(holder, res);
for (size_t digit = max; digit > 0; digit--){ // size_t is unsigned, so avoid using digit >= 0, which is always true

Could you clarify what you are trying to do? The title sounds as if yoiu are trying to convert from C++ to C, and were specfically asking how to use the standard C I/O functions... except you are using both puts() and printf() already, which are exactly the functions you'd want to use. Could you please elaborate on the problem you are having?
