Strings and if

Xandan · 11-26-2009, 03:21 PM

Instead of trying to explain what I am attempting to do I'll just post the code:

Code:

int main() {
	char answer [50];
	char ans1;

	
	printf("Work out?\n");
	scanf("%s", answer);
	
	if (answer=='Pressure') {
		printf("worked");
	}
	else {
		printf("nope");
	}

As you would know that is a big bowl of fail :P been trolling around the internet trying to find out how to go about if statements and strings and cant find anything (apart from with c++ and that just confuses me even more).

Would be grateful if anyone could spare some in-sight

Use strcmp and compare to 0.
Also, single quotes means one character, and double quotes means a string.
So, 'a' = a char, "a" = a string (char*).

Also, read up on Scanf woes.
