Answer / akash aggarwal
Guys What the hell????
strcmp tells you whether strings are equal or not, if not which is greater then other.....
So first compare their length...
example let
str1="abc";
str2="abcde";
now compare their lengths, if len1 >len2 means str1 is greater else
if len2>len1 then str2 is greater
else the above compare is required...........

Answer / sujith
I have been seeing lot of answers posted on top of mine.
here is another highly optimized version.
int str_cmp (const char *s1, const char *s2)
{
while (*s1 == *s2++)
if (*s1++ == 0)
return (0);
return (*(unsigned char *)s1 - *(unsigned char *)--s2);
}
before marking it as not an answer, I urge you to try it once!
Trust me, it works.
