compare if 2 string types are equal

hi,i got 2 variables of string format.how to compare if they are equal????

Code:

---

        string a="Asd";
        string b="Asd";
        if(strcmp(a,b)==0){
                cout<<"true";
        }

---

it gives me error.

> if(strcmp(a,b)==0){
It's even easier.

Code:

---

        if (a == b){

---

A long(er) way (using the string container's compare member function):

Code:

---

string a="Asd";
string b="Asd";
if( a.compare(b) == 0 ) {
    cout<<"true";
}

---

Another long way (using the strcmp function):

Code:

---

string a="Asd";
string b="Asd";
if(strcmp(a.c_str(),b.c_str())==0){
    cout<<"true";
}

---

But yeah, just using operator== is short and sweet.

;)

strcmp() is only for c-style strings. like char*string_thing. the class string is a C++ construct and will not work with functions that require a char*.

Technically it can work if you use the c_str() member function, but in most cases there are better alternatives that are specific to the C++ string class.
