  //   example 1: strncasecmp('Price 12.9', 'Price 12.15', 2);
  //   returns 1: 0
  //   example 2: strncasecmp('Price 12.09', 'Price 12.15', 10);
  //   returns 2: -1
  //   example 3: strncasecmp('Price 12.90', 'Price 12.15', 30);
  //   returns 3: 8
  //   example 4: strncasecmp('Version 12.9', 'Version 12.15', 20);
  //   returns 4: 8
