how to see if one string is contained in the other

hey guys, i have a question about writing a function where the user is prompted to input 2 strings, and "determine if the second is in the first."

anybody have any ideas how one would go about doing this?

It's actually a standard function from string.h header.

Quote:

char *strstr(const char * s1, const char * s2);

This function returns a pointer to the first occurrence of string s2 in string s1. The function returns the null pointer if the string is not found.
