Implement Custom strcmp function

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int custom_strcmp(const char *a, const char *b) {
    // Your logic here
    while(*a!='\0' && *b!='\0')
    {
        if(*a!=*b)
            return *a-*b;

        a++;
        b++;
    }

    /* If both ended, they are equal */
    if (*a == '\0' && *b == '\0')
        return 0;

    /* One string ended earlier */
    return (*a - *b);
}

int main() {
    char a[101], b[101];
    fgets(a, sizeof(a), stdin);
    fgets(b, sizeof(b), stdin);

    // Remove newline
    int i = 0;
    while (a[i]) {
        if (a[i] == '\n') { a[i] = '\0'; break; }
        i++;
    }
    i = 0;
    while (b[i]) {
        if (b[i] == '\n') { b[i] = '\0'; break; }
        i++;
    }

    printf("%d", custom_strcmp(a, b));
    return 0;
}
