By syntax it is strcmp(const char *leftStr, const char *rightStr ); which means it will compare character by character not the entire string. This method works in to forms 1. Character array 2. Character pointer

Given two c++ strings, you want to compare them using strcmp() but it only accepts arguments of const char *? If that's the case, you can retrieve a C-style string from a C++ string trough mystring.c_str() and compare it that way. Example: string str1 = "Hello, world!"; string str2 = "Hello, world!"; if (!strcmp(str1.c_str(), str2.c_str()) std::cout << "The strings are equal." << std::endl; else std::cout << "The strings are not equal." << std::endl;

you can use string too, just need to include string with #include<string.h>
