I have to say if is not a function, but yes, you can compare strings using if.

#include<string> #include<iostream> using namespace std; int main( ){ string str1 = "hi", str2 = "hi"; if(str1 == str2) { cout<< "They are equal"; } }

Thanks a million Jonathan! Can I ask if the user inputs the string eg yes or no is there a way to successfully check that?

#include<string> #include<iostream> using namespace std; int main( ){ string str1, str2 = "hi"; //now I ask user's input, expecting you to enter "hi" cin >> str1; //If user enters hi, it prints they're equal. Else, it prints they're different if(str1 == str2) { cout<< "They are equal"; } else { cout<< "They're different"; } } If it helps you, upvote and mark as the best answer :) Peace

You can create strings normally and compare them as if they're numbers when you include string header
