You're not missing anything.  You're just the only one who bothered to
post the obvious.

Here's a better implementation of strcmp, by the way: (not that it
matters, since it's in the library)

int strcmp(char *s,char *t)
{
	for (; *s && *s == *t; s++,t++);
	return *s-*t;
}

arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-absolutistic
ethics; Kant, by the categorical imperative, is holding it ontologically
exists only in the imagination; and Marx is claiming it was off sides.
