I agree, I'm not a C programmer, but for me this == 0 is a clear sign that you check for strings equality

— Alright, yeah, got it, thank you all

— Thanks

— No, it is not required to return difference. Implementation which returns only -1, 0 or 1 is perfectly valid

— Interesting, I didn't know that. But there are still three values, and you can't represent three different values with a boolean.

— Of course

— It does make some sense though. I assume the non-zero values are mostly used for sorting purposes anyway.

— Wtf
