comparin two strings in c++??

Question

explaination

Answer 1

It's that easy:
string str1 ("Easy");
string str2 ("Foo");

if (str1.compare(str2) != 0)
// They are not equal

if(str1.compare(str1) == 0)
//Its the same

so you use the compare method of the string class. It returns an integer. (0 if they equal).

Answer 2

AKCodingBlog, I do not agree with you.
I think you can't compare them with "==" simply because there is no overloading of this operator in the class string

Answer 3

Oh no, I disagreed with the reason of why it is not possible, I did not say you said it was possible :)
My mistake, I was ambiguous sorry

Answer 4

String class objects CAN be compared with '=='.

Answer 5

A string is a char array. That's why you can not compare them with ==

Here is the specific documentation how to compare strings

Answer 6

@Baptiste E. Prunier

Please show me where I said "you can compare strings with ==" ?!

Answer 7

No problem, I am sorry too. I think the way how strings are constructed results in your argumentation about the missing overloading. Can you agree with this?
