why the function strstr used in C ?

If you spend some time with the documentation[^] you will learn many useful features.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

[Maximilien]

why? Simply to search for a string in another string.

Watched code never compiles.

strstr() finds a substring in a string. use it to search inside string elements.

#include
#include

main()
{
char mainString[]="string to search";
char strstr_sub_string_to_search[]="to";

if ( strstr(mainString, strstr_sub_string_to_search)) puts("strstr() found Substring in main string\n");
else puts("strstr() did not find Substring in main string\n");

return 0;
}
