Thread: strcmp

i keep getting an error with this script

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	char color[10];
	printf("What wire do you want to cut?\n");
	printf("Red, blue or yellow?: ");
	scanf( "%s", &color );
if ( strcmp (color[10], "blue") == 0 ) {
printf("Correct!!!\n");
getchar()
}
else {
printf("Sorry that was incorrect.\n");
printf("Press enter to close.");
getchar();
}

the error is "missing prototype for strcmp"

can anyone help me?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
	char color[10];
	printf("What wire do you want to cut?\n");
	printf("Red, blue or yellow?: ");
	//scanf( "%s", &color ); // Wrong. Use fgets. Wrong. Don't use & for arrays.
	fgets(color, sizeof(color), stdin);
	// MISSING INDENTATION
	// Wrong: color[10] returns the 10th element
	//of the array which doesn't exist and you cannot compare a char to a string.
// if ( strcmp (color[10], "blue") == 0 ) {
	if (strcmp(color, "blue") == 0)
	{
		// MISSING INDENTATION
printf("Correct!!!\n");
//getchar(); // Wrong: Missing ;
}
	// MISSING INDENTATION
else {
		// MISSING INDENTATION
printf("Sorry that was incorrect.\n");
printf("Press enter to close.");
//getchar();
}
