> rote memorization of a provided function.

I never mesmerized strstr(). But using it frequently makes it stick in my mind.



Not everyone uses it (or their language equivalent) frequently depending on the needs of their project. If I'm really using it frequently, then I would probably be looking at higher accuracy/resiliency options like parsing the input and comparing to a map, or regexes.
