Why isn't (“Maya” == “Maya”) true in C++?

Question

Any idea why I get \"Maya is not Maya\" as a result of this code?

if (\"Maya\" == \"Maya\") 
   printf(\"Maya is Maya \\n\");
else
   printf(\"Maya is not Ma         


        

Answer 1

My compiler says they are the same ;-)

even worse, my compiler is certainly broken. This very basic equation:

printf("23 - 523 = %d\n","23"-"523");

produces:

23 - 523 = 1
