Thread: If(char != char) is not working... help?

I am am having some problembs with a curent if function and i am wonder what i did wrong/what i can do to fix it:
here is the relavent info:

char pword[20] = " ", pword2[20];

if(pword != pword2)
{
cout << "incorrect password, please try again:" << endl;
goto password2;
}

This statemt is always false... What did i do wrong?

In order to compare two strings you need to use strcmp.

Code:

if(strcmp(pword,pword2)==0){
//They are the same
}
else{
//They are different
}

it seems like it is working, but the compiler doesnt recognize it... Is there a header file to go with this?

You should include string.h.

Thanx! Now it works!
