Answer 1

soharab uddin mondal strcmp compares a string character by character , if the first character of both string are equal (i.e. have same ascii value), it will return 0 .

If a character of first string has a ascii value less than character of second string ,then it will return -1 and vice versa .

Here "S" Has ascii value of 83 , while "s" has a value of 115 .

Answer 2

Ascii value of S is smaller than s
