Thread: umm comparing string to char

A real example of your question helps.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>

int main()
{
   std::string str = "A";
   char character[16] = "A";
   if ( str == character )
   {
      std::cout << "1: match\n";
   }
   if ( character == str )
   {
      std::cout << "2: match\n";
   }
   if ( strcmp(str.c_str(), character) == 0 )
   {
      std::cout << "3: match\n";
   }
   return 0;
}

/* my output
1: match
2: match
3: match
*/
