Can someone explain what this means in pseudocode, more specifically the stuff in the perenthesis? while (*str1 & & *str1 == *str2) { str1++; str2++; }

I dunno

it's very interesting as *str1 and *str1 are the same thing. I don't even know what the asterisk is for. Maybe it's just part of the variable name.

But from what I understand, it's testing if str1 is equal to str2 and adding 1 to both if the condition is true.

This could be entirely wrong, but it's better than nothing I guess.
