I'm a little rusty with my C programming, but I'm pretty sure that there
is a problem here.  It looks like you are trying to loop through to the
end of str2. In C, a string is delimited by a Null with an ASCII value of
zero.  You are comparing with the number zero (ASCII value 30H), which may
or may not be in your string. What I think you mean to say is: 
while(str2[i] != '\0')

You will need to make this change in all of your functions.  Hope this
helps.
 
Dave
