stricmp() is one of the inbuilt string functions in c programming which is used to compare two strings without any discrimination between uppercase and lowercase letters if the strings are same, it returns 0. Otherwise, it returns a nonzero value.

And the syntax is;

strcmp
strcmp("Jose", "JOSE")
char leftStr[] = "Jose";
char rightStr[] = "JOSE";
Strings are unequal
Value of result: 1

char leftStr[] = "Jose";
char rightStr[] = "Jose";
c

z has greater ASCII value than g
char leftStr[] = "zfz";
char rightStr[] = "gfg";

Strings are unequal
Value of result: >1 like 19

b has less ASCII value than g
char leftStr[] = "bfb";
char rightStr[] = "gfg";

Strings are unequal
Value of result: <1 like (-5)

strcmp(str1,str2) returns 0 if two strings are equal.
Returns -1 if str2 is > str1.
Returns 1 if str1 is > str2.

That means here 1 is for false.

strcmp checks case sensitive chars. So 1.

Why it will return 1?
