Question
This is not a graded question so please don't disregard it as if it is.Thank you in advance professor!
Note: This should be coded in c and NOT c++
![Write a C function with the following prototype:
int strFindSimilar(char str1[], char str2[1]);
Given two strings str1 and str2, the function searches in str1 for the first occurrence of a substring
"similar" to str2. Two strings are considered "similar" if:
they have the same length
the number of corresponding characters of the two strings that are equal to each other
is more than half the length of str2
(that is, >strlen(str2)/2)
If such substring exists, the function returns the index of its initial character in str1. Otherwise, the
function returns -1.
Example of execution:
strFindSimilar("FifthOfNovember", "September")returns 6 because the substring
"fNovember", that starts at character 6, has 5 characters in common with the string
"September";
strFindSimilar("Seventh", "September") returns -1.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6ee34fa6-9569-4fb3-bb2e-3aafffef3e07%2Fafa850b9-da23-4838-83f8-bccc9a40cccc%2Fdudm53u_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
