Using the equality operator == to compare two strings for equality in C

Question

int main (int argc, **argv)
{
       if (argv[1] == \"-hello\")
            printf(\"True\\n\");
       else
            printf(\"False\\n\");
}

Answer 1

Because C strings are array of characters. Arrays are simply pointers to the first element in the array, and when you compare two pointers using == it compares the memory address they point to, not the values that they point to.
