for (i=0;i<len1 && i<len2;i++) { if (str1[i] < str2[i]) return 1; else if (str[i] > str2[i]) return 2; } return 0 ; }

It should be something like: (not the exact implementation)

{
    for (i=0;i<len1 && i<len2;i++) {
        if (str1[i] < str2[i])
            return str1 [i] - str2 [i] ;
        else if (str[i] > str2[i])
            return str1 [i] - str2 [i]; /* Forgot the semi-colon */
    }
return 0 ;
}

{ for (i=0;i<len1 && i<len2;i++) { if (str1[i] < str2[i]) return str1 [i] - str2 [i] ; else if (str[i] > str2[i]) return str1 [i] - str2 [i]; /* Forgot the semi-colon */ } return 0 ; }

though I would even modify the loop to make it better, but then again, its okay.
This is not how string comparision function works. The string comparision functions returns the ASCII difference between the strings if they are unequal while a zero if they are equal.

Making your own functions which performs in a different way only adds to the confusion.

Yeah.... well it is a good thing it is your opinion. :lol:
