wheres my error

Where am i going wrong?
printf executes with any input.

Code:

---

int main( )
{
char name[10];
 scanf ("%s", name);
 
if("name==bob")printf ("nice name" );
 
}

---

"name==bob" is a string. That string exists, therefore it is true, therefore the true part of the if statement happens.

One, if you wanted to do == you wouldn't put the whole thing in quotes, and two, you can't use == to compare strings anyway (instead: strcmp).

CoCo,

Use strcmp() for that.

Code:

---

if(!strcmp(name, "bob")) printf(...);

---

That Great. Can I use strcmp to compare multiple strings

Look it up in your documentation... how many parameters does it accept?

There are 5 different names which when entered must display different messages

Then you're probably going to need 5 different calls to the strcpy function to account for each case.
