C Strings Comparison with Equal Sign

Question

I have this code:

char *name = \"George\"

if(name == \"George\")
   printf(\"It\'s George\")

I thought that c strings could not be compare

Answer 1

If you compare two stings that you are comparing base addresses of those strings not actual characters in those strings. for comparing strings use strcmp() and strcasecmp() library functions or write program like this. below is not a full code just logic required for string comparison.

void mystrcmp(const char *source,char *dest)
{
    for(i=0;source[i] != '\0';i++)
        dest[i] = source[i];
   dest[i] = 0;

}
