Write a program to compare two strings without using the strcmp() function..

Answer / kms

The following code compares the strings alphabetically:

For example:

1. "bite" is greater than "apple" even though length of bite
is less than apple. ( it is greater lexicographically)

2. "It is good" is lower than "It is great".

CODE -->

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

void strings_compare(char [], char []);

void main()
{
char str1[50], str2[50];
clrscr();
flushall();
printf("String 1 : ");
gets(str1);
flushall();
printf("String 2 : ");
gets(str2);
strings_compare(str1,str2);
getch();
}

void strings_compare(char str1[], char str2[])
{
int i=0,j=0,flag1=0,flag2=0;
printf("\nString 1 : ");
puts(str1);
printf("\nString 2 : ");
puts(str2);
printf("\n");
while(str1[i] != '\0' || str2[j] != '\0')
{
if(str1[i] < str2[j])
{
flag1 = 1;
break;
}
if(str1[i] > str2[j])
{
flag2 = 1;
break;
}
else
{
i++;
j++;
}
}

if(flag1==1)
{
printf("\n\ns1 : %s is lower than s2 : %s",str1,str2);
}
else if(flag2 == 1)
{
printf("\n\ns1 : %s is greater than s2 : %s",str1,str2);
}
else
{
printf("\n\nBoth strings are equal...");
}
}

Write a program to compare two strings without using the strcmp() function..

Answer / sujith

#include<stdio.h>
int str_cmp(const char *s1, const char *s2)
{
unsigned int i = 0, diff;
while(*(s1+i) && *(s2+i))
{
diff = (*(s1+i)-*(s2+i));
if(!diff)i++;
else break;
}
return diff;
}
int main()
{
printf("chuma %d ", str_cmp("abcd","abcde"));
return 0;
}
U can use this as a prototype and enhance this. I havent
even tried compilng this.

Write a program to compare two strings without using the strcmp() function..

Answer / fionaa

corrected:

Returns an integral value indicating the relationship
between the strings:
A zero value indicates that both strings are equal.
A value greater than zero indicates that the first character
that does not match has a greater value in str1 than in
str2; And a value less than zero indicates the opposite.

int compare(char str1[], char str2[]) {
int flag = -1;
int i=0;
while(str1[i]!='\0' && str2[i]!='\0'){
if((str1[i]==str2[i])) {flag = 0;}
else if (str1[i]>str2[i]) {
flag=1;
break;
}else if(str1[i]<str2[i]){
flag = -1;
break;
}
i++;
}

if(strlen(str1)==strlen(str2) && flag==0 ){
flag = 0;
}
else if(strlen(str1)>strlen(str2) && flag==0 ){
flag = 1;
}
else if(strlen(str1)<strlen(str2) && flag==0 ){flag = -1;}
return flag;
