From: Seija Kijin <doremylover123@gmail.com>

strncmp does not modify any of the memory. Once we find a match, there is no point in trying to find the second match in the inner loop.

Break out of the loop once we find the first match.

    strncmp does not modify any of the memory, so looping through all
    elements is a waste of resources.
