Thread: Question about strcmp()

Theres an example on tutorialspoint.com that goes like this:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main ()
{
   char str1[15];
   char str2[15];
   int ret;


   strcpy(str1, "abcdef");
   strcpy(str2, "ABCDEF");

   ret = strcmp(str1, str2);

   if(ret < 0)
   {
      printf("str1 is less than str2");
   }
   else if(ret > 0) 
   {
      printf("str2 is less than str1");
   }
   else 
   {
      printf("str1 is equal to str2");
   }
   
   return(0);
}

Why is the answer to this example: "str2 is less than str1"

When both strings are the same and only difference is one is uppercase. How does strcmp work here?
