Write a program in c language to compare two strings by using pointers.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int compare_strings(char*, char*);

int main()
{
    char str1[100], str2[100], result;

    printf("Enter first string: ");
    gets(str1);

    printf("Enter second string: ");
    gets(str2);

    result = compare_strings(str1, str2);

    if ( result == 0 )
       printf("Strings are same.\n");
    else
       printf("Entered strings are not equal.\n");

    getch();
}

int compare_strings(char *str1, char *str2)
{
   while(*str1==*str2)
   {
      if ( *str1 == '\0' || *str2 == '\0' )
         break;

      str1++;
      str2++;
   }
   if( *str1 == '\0' && *str2 == '\0' )
      return 0;
   else
      return 1;
}
