    Size_t problem

    I am trying to define int strcmp (char s1[], char s2[]), but i get this error:

    int main(chars1[],chars2[]) {
    int l1, l2;
    printf ("Introduza duas strings %s%s\n", s1, s2);
    l1 = size_t strlen(const char *s1);
    l2 = size_t strlen(const char *s2);
    if (l1 == l2) puts ("0");
    else if (l1 < l2) puts ("<0");
    else puts (">0");
    }



    50questoes.c: In function ‘main’:
    50questoes.c:218:10: error: expected expression before ‘size_t’
    l1 = size_t strlen(const char *s1);
    ^~~~~~
    50questoes.c:219:10: error: expected expression before ‘size_t’
    l2 = size_t strlen(const char *s2);

    It's hard to understand what you are trying to do, but maybe:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
     
    int main() {
        char s1[100], s2[100];
        printf ("Introduza duas strings: ");
        scanf("%99s %99s", s1, s2);
        size_t l1 = strlen(s1);
        size_t l2 = strlen(s2);
        if (l1 == l2) puts ("0");
        else if (l1 < l2) puts ("<0");
        else puts (">0");
        return 0;
    }
    A little inaccuracy saves tons of explanation. - H.H. Munro
