I've tried this code but it doesn't seem to compile without errors.  I was 
actually expecting something with a comparision resulting in a true or false 
being returned.  Maybe something similar to this:
if (strcmp(s1,s2)==0)
       printf("equal\n");
   else if (strcmp(s1,s2)<0)
I'm just not sure how to plug in the values.  Any ideas?
