Create a function for comparing character strings

[Zool]

I want to create a function equivalent to the function strcmp available with # include <string.h>.

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

  char comparison (ch, cha); 

  int main (int argc, char * argv []) 
  ( 
  char string1 [10], string2 [10]; 

  printf ( "Enter two words in validating one after the other, below: \ n"); 
  scanf ( "% 10s% 10s", string1, string2); 

  printf ( "You took the words% s and% s \ n", string1, string2); 

  compare (string1, string2); 


  / / Function comparison 
 
  char comparison (ch, cha) 
  ( 
      if (ch == CHAINED) 
          ( 
          printf ( "comparing:% s and% s are identical \ n", ch, cha); 
          ) 
      else 
          ( 
          printf ( "comparing:% s and% s are different \ n", ch, cha); 
          ) 
  )

Outside, if I compare two strings of similar nature, the program reports me as different. Can you tell me where is the mistake?

if (ch == CHAINED)

You can not compare 2 strings like that! If you want to reproduce strcmp you have compare it, Suppose we have 2 character that have value as 'hello' and 'hello', In your comparison function you'll compare : s and b > Not equal you can say that the strings are different, no need to test other characters.

If it was: 'hi' and salt 'comparison:

• s and s -> Equal to continue
• a and a -> Equal to continue
• l and l -> Equal to continue
• u and t -> Not equal it stops there

To Create a function for comparing character strings follow the example given below:

char *s1, *s2;
char* s = "Hello";
s[1] = 'a';     
s = new char[strlen("Hello") + 1]; 
strcpy(s, "Hello");
if(!strcmp(s1, s2))

You have misunderstood the use of the loop. Here is another function based on function to returns 0 if identical, another value if different:

 SCMP int (char * ch1, char * ch2) 
   ( 
        while ((* ch1 - ch2 *) & & (* ch1! = '\ 0')) 
        (Ch1 + +; ch2 + +;) 

        return (* ch1 - ch2 *); 
   )
