umm comparing string to char

K my question is. is it possible to compare string to char like so.

string str;
char character[16];

if (character==str)
do so....

or

if (strcmp ( str,character ) == 0 )
do so.....

ok if not then how can i assign str to character?

chracter=str
That gives me error plz help tahnks guys

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
*/
