Please someone help me to print carbon's atomic weight in c++...

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string element ;
string carbon = "Atomic Weight : 12";
cin >> element ;
if (element ==carbon){
cout << carbon <<endl;
}
return 0;
}

Answer 1

change if ( element == carbon ) to
if ( element.compare( 0, 6, "carbon" ) == 0 ) // quotes are needed

It should now run when you type the word "carbon" (w/o the quotes)
If you meant Carbon or CARBON (etc) as well you will need to create a case insensitive compare for each character

Answer 2

i googled c# string compare. normally i would have used
string.compare( string1, string2 ) but i was not sure if the cin would include the \n, so to play safe, i only wanted to compare the 1st 6 characters.
