Include another function to display the names BEFORE as well as AFTER it is sorted
Include yet another function to save the sorted names to a data file named Output_SortedNames.txt.”
Including main (), 4 or more functions must be implemented. Proper prototypes should be utilized and function bodies must be coded after the main function
Assume that the input data file will contain between 20 and 50 names where each name is written on a separate line and is constructed correctly
