[C++] Sample for String Compare

It is a simple sample for understanding how to implement a function to compare two string.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int codePointCompare(const char* c1, const char* c2)
{
 int l1 = strlen(c1);
 int l2 = strlen(c2);
        const unsigned lmin = l1 < l2 ? l1 : l2;
        unsigned pos = 0;
        while (pos < lmin && *c1 == *c2)
 {
             c1++;
             c2++;
             pos++;
        }

        if (pos < lmin)
             return (c1[0] > c2[0]) ? 1 : -1;

        if (l1 == l2)
             return 0;

 return (l1 > l2) ? 1 : -1;
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
 char* c1 = new char[1024];
 char* c2 = new char[1024];
 cout << "please input first string:";
 cin >> c1;
 cout << "please input second string:";
 cin >> c2;

 cout << codePointCompare(c1, c2);
 return 0;
}
