Thread: String Compare

Hi Everyone!
How do I compare the array of strings with a string? I tried with strcmp.I want to check which month has the user entered,accordingly take the number corresponding for the month for calculations.Getting confused when it comes to strings,please help.

Code:

void get_day(int y,char* m,int d,int lp)
{
    int c,a,i,cnt=0,b,e,sum,res,z;
    int cent[10]={4,2,0,6,4,2,0,6,4,2};
    int month_code[12]={0,3,3,6,1,4,6,2,5,0,3,5};
    char month[12][5]={"jan","feb","mar","apr","may","jun","july","aug","sept","oct","nov","dec"};
    char day[7][10]={"sunday","monday","tuesday","wednesday","thursday","friday","saturday"};
    z=y/100;
    b=y%100;    //year
    c=b/4;
    for(i=17;i<=26;i++)
    {
        if(i==z)
        a=cent[cnt];    //century
        else
        cnt++;
    }
    printf("a=%d\n",a);
    printf("b=%d\n",b);
    printf("c=%d\n",c);
    printf("d=%d\n",d);
    /*if(lp==TRUE)
    {
        if(*m=='jan')
            e=6;


        else if(*m=='feb')
     }       e=2;
    else
    {*/
        for(i=0;i<12;i++)
        {
            if(strcmp(month[i],m))      //problem part
            {
                    printf("val of i=%d\n",i);    //test
                    e=month_code[i];
                    break;  
            }


        }
    //}
    printf("e=%d\n",e);
    sum=a+b+c+d+e;
    res=sum%7;
    printf("sum=%d\n",sum);
    printf("res=%d\n",res);
    printf("The day is %s\n",day[res]);
}
int leap_year(int year)
{
    if(year%400==FALSE && year%100!=FALSE || year%4==FALSE)
    return TRUE;
    else
    return FALSE;


}

I think you are checking if the strings are equal... so it should be
if (0 == strcmp(month[i], m))

Thank you,somehow I overlooked that and thought the problem was with strings.It's working fine now.
