How to check if user typed "may" or "May"?

Question

Console program that will tell the user how many days are in the month they inputted. I can't figure out how to tell if the user typed "may" or "May" & still display the same out come: "May has XX days." with out repeating the same code.

Sample Code:

string mName;
cout << " Enter a month and hit ENTER: \n";
cin >> mName;

string mMay, mJun;
mMay = "May";
mJun = "June";

if (mName == mMay) {
cout << "May has XX days.\n";
}
if (mName == mJun) {
cout << "June has XX days.";
}

Answer 1

instead of adding different cases for user input, try converting user input into a standard format that you can work with.

try tolower, it may help.

Answer 2

//try this
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
string s1="May";
string s2=s1;
transform(s2.begin(),s2.end(),s2.begin(),::tolower);
if(s1.compare("may")==0||s2.compare("may")==0){
cout<<"may has x no of days";
}
return 0;
}

@Kevin Pirritano
Your comparison condition in if should be :
mMay == "May" || mMay == "may" instead of the one you used earlier if you want to match using OR and ==

Answer 4

The program works when "May" or "June" is typed, but not "may". I tried:

mMay = "May" || "may"

But that doesn't work.
