note 54593 added to function.strcmp

I don't understand why an on-line exam question in a C course says I should have selected "s1 less than s2" after strcpy(s1, "machine"); strcpy(s2, "computer"); if (strcmp(s1, s2)==0 printf("equal\n); else if (strcmp(s1, s2)<0) printf("s1 less than s2\n"); else printf("s1 greater than s2\n"); I selected "s1 greater than s2" because I expect 'm' > 'c'. Unfortunately, I don't have a C compiler I can test with. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54593 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54593&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54593&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54593&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54593&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54593&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54593&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54593&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
