Well, if you write something like:
if(*str == 'c')
{
//in here it's redundant to have strcmp check the first character,
since you already know it's a c
if(strcmp(str+1, "har")) //if str == "char"
{
//eggs...
}
//spam...
}
It just cuts down the number of branches in the code... but it's
hardly worth it, it makes it to much more difficult to read.
