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. -Nick
