comparison between string literal

Question

This very simple code:

#include 

using namespace std;

void exec(char* option)
{
    cout << \"option is \" << option << e         


        

Answer 1

For C++ I would use the std::string solution:

#include  
#include 

using namespace std; 

void exec(string option) 
{ 
    cout << "option is " << option << endl; 
    if (option == "foo") 
        cout << "option foo"; 
    else if (option == "bar") 
        cout << "option bar"; 
    else 
        cout << "???"; 
    cout << endl; 
} 

int main() 
{ 
    string opt = "foo"; 
    exec(opt);

    exec("bar");

    char array[] = "other";
    exec(array);
    return 0; 
} 

std::string knows how to create itself out of char[], char*, etc, so you can still call the function in these ways, too.
