strcmp c char* code example
Example 1: strcmp in c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char str1[] = "abcd", str2[] = "abCd", str3[] = "abcd";
int result;
// comparing strings str1 and str2
result = strcmp(str1, str2);
printf("strcmp(str1, str2) = %d\n", result);
// comparing strings str1 and str3
result = strcmp(str1, str3);
printf("strcmp(str1, str3) = %d\n", result);
return 0;
}
Example 2: c strcmp
// strCmp implementation
// string1 < string2 => return a negative integer
// string1 > string2 => return a positive integer
// string1 = string2 => return 0
int strCmp(const char* s1, const char* s2) {
while(*s1 && (*s1 == *s2)) {
s1++;
s2++;
}
return *s1 - *s2;
}
