start with i = 0;
compare str1[ i ] with str2[ i ].
if they're both '\0', then the strings are equal, return 0.
if they're not '\0', and equal, move on to the next character (i+1)
now we've found two unequal characters at position i.
if the first one is > the second one, return +1
otherwise return -1.
That's pretty much it.
