strcmp or string::compare?
c, c++, char, string, string-comparison
Solution
For C++, use `std::string` and compare using `string::compare`.
For C use `strcmp`. If your (i meant your programs) strings (for some weird reason) aren't `nul` terminated, use `strncmp` instead.
But why would someone not use something as simple as `==` for `std::string` ?
Problem
I want to compare two strings. Is it possible with `strcmp`? (I tried and it does not seem to work). Is `string::compare` a solution? Other than this, is there a way to compare a `string` to a `char`? Thanks for the early comments. I was coding in C++ and yes it was `std::string` like some of you mentioned. I didn't post the code because I wanted to learn the general knowledge and it is a pretty long code, so it was irrelevant for the question. I think I learned the difference between C++ and C, thanks for pointing that out. And I will try to use overloaded operators now. And by the way `string::compare` worked too.
