Wrote a function 'strncmp:long(str1:string, str2:string, n:long)' to compare the first n characters in a string. This is the function 'int strncmp ( const char * str1, const char * str2, size_t num )' from the C library 'string.h'.
enhancement is possible through other methods, and would not be the ideal place to start emulating C string functions.
