Implement Custom strcmp function

Code

#include <stdio.h>

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

        if(char_diff != 0)
            break;

        a++;
        b++;
    }

    char_diff = *a - *b;

    return char_diff;
}

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;
}
