How to compare two pointers (with chars) in C

Question

I have this code

char* word[50] = {"hi", "hello", "dog"};
char word2[50];

fgets(word,50, stdin);
getchar();

for example, I if the user enters "greetings", I want to output "hi", if the user enters "greeting2" I want to output "hello" if the user enters "animal", will print dog.
but I don't know how to do that, I have tried a lot and I can't.
Any idea about how to do that?

Answer 1

strcmp is your friend.

fgets(word2, 50, stdin);

if (strcmp(word2, "greetings") == 0)
fputs(stdin, word[0)
else if....
