Yes and no. These signs guides you on changing your source code, but
*they aren't* part of the code. When you see:

   for (;;) {
     for (curstr = str;; curstr++, curname++) {
-      if (!*curstr && !isalpha(*curname))
+      if (!*curstr)
         return (1);

Means that you needs to remove (-) the line containing:
      if (!*curstr && !isalpha(*curname))
and insert (+) in the same place a line containing:
      if (!*curstr)

Then, the original code is:

  for (;;) {
    for (curstr = str;; curstr++, curname++) {
      if (!*curstr && !isalpha(*curname))
        return (1);

and it will became:

  for (;;) {
    for (curstr = str;; curstr++, curname++) {
      if (!*curstr)
        return (1);
