String Comparison function in C Examples

strcmpi() Function

strcmpi() function in C is same as strcmp() function. But, strcmpi() function is not case sensitive. i.e, "P" and "p" are treated as same characters. Where as, strcmp() function treats "S" and "s" as different characters. .

strcmpi() is a library function of string.h header file, if strings are same (in any case Upper/Lower) it will return 0 otherwise it will return the difference of first dissimilar characters (i.e. non zero value).

For Example: - we have two strings "Hello World!" and "HELLO WORLD!", strcmp() function will return 0 becuase strings are same.

C strcmpi() syntax

  
 int strcmpi ( const char * strng1, const char * strng2 );


Example 1:

Output:

  Enter string1: Hello World!
  Enter string2: HELLO WORLD!
  Both strings are same.

Example 2:

Output:

 0 -1 1

strncat( ) Appends first n characters of a string at the end of another.
strcpy( ) Copies from str2 into str1
strncpy( ) Copies given number of characters of one string to another
strlen( ) Gives the length of str1
strcmp( ) Returns 0 if str1 is same as str2. Returns <0 if strl < str2. Returns >0 if str1 > str2
