    Sorry first line...it should say i==2, not x==2.

    I think I see your twisted sense of logic now. It's undoubtedly different from how I would do, and that is why I was a little thrown off.
    I just made a little remark about the subtraction. I didn't mean it was wrong, because I wasn't sure and I didn't test.

    Out of curiosity, how would you do it? I'm always interested to see how other people would tackle the same problem?

    I do think the -1 was incorrect, but somehow it seemed to work? Not sure how tbh.

    Patience. After I wrote the reply, I started working on my own version. And a few minutes later, here it is:
    Code:
    bool IsStrInStr(char* src, char* find, size_t length_of_src, size_t length_of_find)
    {
        if (length_of_src < length_of_find)
            return false;
        for (int i = 0; i < length_of_src; ++i)
        {
            if (src[i] != find[i])
                return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
    
    size_t findx(char* src, char* find)
    {
        size_t len_src = strlen(src);
        size_t len_find = strlen(find);
        int found = 0;
    
        for (int i = 0; i < len_src - len_find; ++i) 
        {
            if (IsStrInStr(&src[i], find, len_src - i, len_find)
                found++;
        }    
        
        return found;
    }
    (Not tested.)

    Thanks. Are the size_t templates? I've not covered them yet. I'll make a note of this code and come back once I understand templates.

    They aren't templates. It's the type strlen returns.
    strlen (MSDN)

    Does using size_t have benefits over using, for example, int?

    Is it like size_type where is it guaranteed to hold any number, whereby int would wrap around once the value gets too high?

    No, all variables are finite since there's finite storage. But strlen returns a size_t. And if you use a smaller data type, you may lose data. So by using size_t, you are guaranteed not to lose any information. That's all.
    Keep the type chain.
    (Plus the fact that a length cannot be negative; so assigning it to an int may cause signed issues.)
