=====strcmp=====
Syntax:

<code>
    #include <cstring>
    int strcmp( const char *str1, const char *str2 );
</code>
The function strcmp() compares str1 and str2, then returns:

^Return value   ^Explanation^
|less than 0    |''str1'' is less than ''str2''|
|equal to 0     |''str1'' is equal to ''str2''|
|greater than 0 |''str1'' is greater than ''str2''|

For example:

<code>
     printf( "Enter your name: " );
     scanf( "%s", name );
     if( strcmp( name, "Mary" ) == 0 ) {
       printf( "Hello, Dr. Mary!\n" );
     }
</code>
Note that if str1 or str2 are missing a null-termination character, then strcmp
() may not produce valid results. For a similar (and safer) function that
includes explicit bounds checking, see strncmp().
