This function return values that are as follows;
if Return value < 0 then it indicates str1 is less than str2.
if Return value > 0 then it indicates str2 is less than str1.
if Return value = 0 then it indicates str1 is equal to str2.
if Return value < 0 then it indicates str1 is less than str2.
if Return value > 0 then it indicates str2 is less than str1.
if Return value = 0 then it indicates str1 is equal to str2.

memset(p,'o',2);
cout<<s<<' '<<p;
}

Note: GCC Compiler (32 Bit Linux Platform).
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
char s[90]="endl";
printf("%s",strcat (s,strcat(s,s)));
return 0;
}
Why it shows segment fault?
Please, anyone explain me.

It sets the portion of characters in a string to given character.
String before strnset: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
String after strnset: xxxxxxxxxxxxxnopqrstuvwxyz
The user want to replace abcdefghijklm by using 'x' and given position is 13 .so 'a' to 'm' is replaced by 'x'. finally got xxxxxxxxxxxxxnopqrstuvwxyz.
and one thing
Use this program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
char string[70] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
char letter = 'x';
printf("string before strnset: %s\n", string);
strnset(string, letter, 13);
printf("string after strnset: %s\n", string);
return 0;
}

@Tejaswi you are right,
Executing this program, compiler gives following error.
In function 'main': Undefined reference to 'strnset'
