Comparing the values of char arrays in C++

Question

I have problem about doing something in my program. I have a char[28] array keeping names of people. I have another char[28] array that also keeps names. I ask user to enter

Answer 1

You can compare char arrays that are supposed to be strings by using the c style strcmp function.

if( strcmp(sName,Student.name) == 0 ) // strings are equal

In C++ you normally don't work with arrays directly. Use the std::string class instead of character arrays and your comparison with == will work as expected.
