Q. Write a C++ program to compare two strings.

#include <iostream>   
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;

int main () {
    char str1[30] = "Onlinetpoint";
    char str2[30] = "Onlinetpoint";
	if(strcmp(str1,str2)==0)
	{
	    cout << "str1 & str2 both strings are equal";
	}
	else
	{
	    cout << "str1 & str2 both strings are not equal";
	}
    return 0;

Q. Write an algorithm to compare two strings.

1. Start
2. Initialize the first string `str1` with the value `"Onlinetpoint"`.
3. Initialize the second string `str2` with the value `"Onlinetpoint"`.
4. Use the `strcmp` function from `` library to compare `str1` and `str2`.
    - `strcmp(str1, str2)` returns:
    - `0` if both strings are equal,
    - A negative value if `str1` is lexicographically less than `str2`,
    - A positive value if `str1` is lexicographically greater than `str2`.
5. If `strcmp(str1, str2) == 0` (strings are equal):
    - Print: `"str1 & str2 both strings are equal"`.
6. Else (strings are not equal):
    - Print: `"str1 & str2 both strings are not equal"`.
7. End
