Sometimes in a program we REQUIRE to COMPARE memory ranges containing strings. In such a situation we can use functions like memcmp ( ) or memicmp ( ). The basic DIFFERENCE between two functions is that memcmp ( ) does a case-sensitive comparison whereas memicmp ( ) ignores case of characters. Following program illustrates the use of both the functions.

#include

main( )

{

char *arr1 = Kicit ;

char *arr2 = kicitNagpur ;

INT C ;

c = memcmp ( arr1, arr2, sizeof ( arr1 ) ) ;

if ( c == 0 )

printf ( Strings arr1 and arr2 compared using memcmp are identical ) ;

else

printf ( Strings arr1 and arr2 compared using memcmp are not identical

) ;

c = memicmp ( arr1, arr2, sizeof ( arr1 ) ) ;

if ( c == 0 )

printf ( Strings arr1 and arr2 compared using memicmp are identical )

;

else

printf ( Strings arr1 and arr2 compared using memicmp are not

identical ) ;

}
