C++ Comparison of String Literals

Question

I\'m a c++ newbie (just oldschool c). My son asked for help with this and I\'m unable to explain it. If he had asked me \"how do I compare strings\" I would have told hi

Answer 1

If you want to compare actual C++ strings, you need to declare C++ strings:

int main() 
{
  const std::string a("A");
  const std::string z("Z");

  cout << (z < a) << endl; // false
  cout << (a < z) << endl; // true
}
