i need to fix this code so it can compare the two strings and print the bigger according to the ascii

Question

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

    int main(){
        int count=0;
        int count1=0;
        char str[101];
        gets(str);
            for(int i=0;i<=101;i++){
                if(str[i]==' ')
                count++;
                
            }
            int wordsnr=count+1;
            char words[wordsnr][30];
            int word=0, ch=0;
                for(int i =0;i<=(strlen(str));i++){
                    if(str[i]==' ' || str[i]=='\0'){
                        words[word][ch]='\0';
                        word++;
                        ch=0;
                        
                    }
                    else {
                        words[word][ch]=str[i];
                        ch++;
                        
                }
    }
    int index =0;
    int c;
    int longest=strlen(words[0]);
    for (int i =1;i<word;i++){
        if(strlen(words[i])>longest){
            if(strlen(words[i])==longest){
                c= strcmp(words[i],words[index]);
                
            }
            longest=strlen(words[i]);
            if(c!=(-1))
            printf("%s",words[i]);
            else printf("%s",words[index]);
        }
       
        }
         printf("%s",words[index]);
    }

Answer 1

Problem #1 - depriceted function

gets(str);

This function is deprecated. It shouldn't be used anymore. Use fgets() instead:

fgets(str, sizeof(str), stdin);

Problem #2 - buffer overrun

for(int i=0;i<=101;i++){

You are likely to read memory garbage there. You should stop reading when you reach the end of the string.

Problem #3 - dead code

The following code will never run:

if(strlen(words[i])>longest){
    if(strlen(words[i])==longest){
        c= strcmp(words[i],words[index]);
    }
    // ...
}

The reason is that if a > b, then a clearly cannot == b.

Problem #4 - uninitialized variable

The value c is uninitialized. It has no initial value and setting it (see above) is part of a dead code, a conditional one, it should have been initialized anyway.

Therefore when you're trying to read it, it will likely never be equal to -1.

Performance #1 - O(n^2) complexity

You shouldn't call strlen() all the time, especially not in a for loop a it is evaluated every iteration making the problem O(n^2) while it could be just O(n) complex.

So instead of 

for(int i =0;i<=(strlen(str));i++){

you could first calculate and save the length and use it in the loop:

size_t length = strlen(str);
for (size_t i = 0; i <= length; i++) {
