Lexicographical Order - C strings
Hello! I am studying for a final and I was given a pool of "questions" for studying. I am stumped when it comes to c strings because we barely covered them and I can't find anything in my book regarding lexicographical order.
Here is what I was given : "Given two c strings s1 and s2, write a if -else if - else statement to print out a message to indicate which string goes first in lexicographical order."
Can someone please help point me in the right direction on how to even begin writing the code for this?

| The ordering comparisons are done lexicographically -- the comparison is performed by a function equivalent to std::lexicographical_compare. |
I understand the terminology, I just can't find anything in my book for it; I can find comparing strings, string lengths, etc.
The link you've provided is wonderful. Thank you very much.
