Question

I was looking into some old code in my product and i found following code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main ( int argc, char **argv) {
    const char *str = "abcdefghi";
    int value = strcmp(str, "abcdefghi") == 0;
}

What is the purpose of int value = strcmp(str, "abcdefghi") == 0; of such code.

Answer 1

It initializes value with the result of strcmp(str, "abcdefghi") == 0 which will be 0 or 1 depending on what strcmp returns.
