Tips
The
strcmpi
function is intended for comparison of text. If used on an unsupported data type,strcmpi
always returns0
.For case-sensitive text comparison, use
strcmp
instead ofstrcmpi
.Although
strcmpi
shares a name with a C function, it does not follow the C language convention of returning0
when the text inputs match.
