C++ Compare char array with string

Question

I\'m trying to compare a character array against a string like so:

const char *var1 = \" \";
var1 = getenv(\"myEnvVar\");

if(var1 == \"dev\")
{
   // do stu         


        

Answer 1

your thinking about this program below

#include 
#include 

int main ()
{
char str[][5] = { "R2D2" , "C3PO" , "R2A6" };
int n;
puts ("Looking for R2 astromech droids...");
for (n=0 ; n<3 ; n++)
if (strncmp (str[n],"R2xx",2) == 0)
{
  printf ("found %s\n",str[n]);
}
return 0;
}
//outputs:
//
//Looking for R2 astromech droids...
//found R2D2
//found R2A6

when you should be thinking about inputting something into an array & then use strcmp functions like the program above ... check out a modified program below

#include 
#include
#include 
#include 
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int Students=2;
int Projects=3, Avg2=0, Sum2=0, SumT2=0, AvgT2=0, i=0, j=0;
int Grades[Students][Projects];

for(int j=0; j<=Projects-1; j++){
  for(int i=0; i<=Students; i++) {
 cout <<"Please give grade of student "<< j <<"in project "<< i  <<  ":";
  cin >> Grades[j][i];

  }
  Sum2 = Sum2 + Grades[i][j];
     Avg2 = Sum2/Students;
}
SumT2 = SumT2 + Avg2;
AvgT2 = SumT2/Projects;
cout << "avg is  : " << AvgT2 << " and sum : " << SumT2 << ":";
return 0;
}

change to string except it only reads 1 input and throws the rest out maybe need two for loops and two pointers

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char name[100];
//string userInput[26];
int i=0, n=0, m=0;
cout<<"your name? ";
cin>>name;
cout<<"Hello "<
