strcmp() return values in C [duplicate]

by

In this sense, “less than” for strings means lexicographic (alphabetical) order.

So cat is less than dog because cat is alphabetically before dog.

Lexicographic order is, in some sense, an extension of alphabetical order to all ASCII (and UNICODE) characters.
