    I have the set of matching pairs say p[0]=(0,1),p[1]=(1,2),p[2]=(4,0),p[3]=(0,5),p[4]=(2,4),p[5]=(3,3),p[6]=(5,1),p[7]=(1,7),p[8]=(2,6)
    now,I want to print those pairs whose sum is same but the difference between
    the elements of each pair is minimum.
    i.e. say p[4],p[5],p[6] have the same sum 6.
    the difference of elements in p[4] is 2 ,in p[5] is 0 & in p[6] is 4.
    so we will choose p[5].
    the result should print p[1],p[2],p[3],p[5],p[8].
    I am trying but not get the results so please help me.

    I don't quite get why p[1],p[2],p[3],p[5],p[8] should be the result. I'm giving you the algorithm to calculate sum and difference for each pair, you'll have to handle the rest.
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        const char *p[9];
        int i, v1, v2, sum[9], difference[9];
        p[0] = "(0,1)";
        p[1] = "(1,2)";
        p[2] = "(4,0)";
        p[3] = "(0,5)";
        p[4] = "(2,4)";
        p[5] = "(3,3)";
        p[6] = "(5,1)";
        p[7] = "(1,7)";
        p[8] = "(2,6)";
        for (i = 0; i < 9; ++i)
        {
            sscanf(p[i], "(%d,%d)", &v1, &v2);
            sum[i] = v1 + v2;
            difference[i] = abs(v1 - v2);
        }
        return 0;
    }

    sir,I understand your algo. But I already calculated the sum . I just want to find out those pairs which have equal sum but the difference between the element
    should be minimum.
    Like,from the the above example ,
    p[0],p[1],p[2],p[3] dont have the same sum. So this will be printed.
    But p[4],p[5],p[6] have the same sum so we have to calculate their differences between the elements.
    Its find that p[5] has the minimum difference i.e. 0 so,we select p[5] .
    In the same way p[7] & p[8] have the same sum but p[8] has the minimum sum so we have to select p[8].
    so the final matching pairs should be,
    p[0],p[1],p[2],p[3],p[5],p[8].

    my code is below,
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    #include<string.h>
    #include<time.h>
    #include<math.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    int main()
    {
    int b[11]={0,1,4,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5};
    int c[11]={1,6,3,7,4,6,3,8,0,7,1};
    int y[11],k=0,p[11],q[11];
    for(int i=0;i<11;i++)
    {
    for(int j=i+1;j<11;j++)
    {
    if((b+c)==(b[j]+c[j]))
    {
    y[k]=abs(b-c);
    y[k+1]=abs(b[j]-c[j]);

    if(y[k]>y[k+1])
    {
    p=b[j+1];
    q=c[j+1];
    }
    else
    {
    p=b[j];
    q=c[j];
    }
    }
    else
    {
    p=b;
    q=c;
    }

    }
    printf("%d%d\n",p,q);
    }
    getch();
    return 0;
    }
