Program to check substring in a string in C

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

//function declaration
int myStrStr(char* str, char* sub);

int main()
{
    char str[100] = { 0 };
    char strTocheck[10] = { 0 };

    printf("Enter complete string: ");
    scanf("%[^\n]s", str);
    getchar();

    printf("Enter string to check: ");
    scanf("%[^\n]s", strTocheck);

    if (myStrStr(str, strTocheck))
        printf("String "%s" found in "%s"\n", strTocheck, str);
    else
        printf("String "%s" not found in "%s"\n", strTocheck, str);

    return 0;
}

//function definition
int myStrStr(char* str, char* sub)
{
    int flag = 0;

    int i = 0, len1 = 0, len2 = 0;

    len1 = strlen(str);
    len2 = strlen(sub);

    while (str[i] != '\0') {
        if (str[i] == sub[0]) {
            if ((i + len2) > len1)
                break;

            if (strncmp(str + i, sub, len2) == 0) {
                flag = 1;
                break;
            }
        }
        i++;
    }

    return flag;
}

Output

First run:
Enter complete string: Hello how are you?
Enter string to check: how
String "how" found in "Hello how are you?"

Second run:
Enter complete string: Hello how are you?
Enter string to check: we
String "we" not found in "Hello how are you?"

Third run:
Enter complete string: Hello how are you?
Enter string to check: how are you?
String "how are you?" found in "Hello how are you?"
