al_ustr_ncompare(3alleg5)

💖 al_ustr_ncompare 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API ✨ this one lives in the Allegro reference manual, and it's genuinely so useful, no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_ustr_ncompare — the "compare but like, only the first little bit" girlie 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_ustr_ncompare(const ALLEGRO_USTR *us1, const ALLEGRO_USTR *us2, int n)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, it's exactly like al_ustr_compare(3alleg5) but it only compares up to the first n code points of both strings 🎀 that's the whole plot twist. short attention span comparison. iconic behaviour honestly.

what does it give back? here's the vibe check:

• returns zero if the strings are equal 🫶
• returns a positive number if us1 comes after us2 👑
• otherwise it returns a negative number 💀

that's it, that's the function. ate and left no crumbs 🍓
