Here is where I take data from file and put it in structure.

Code:

struct NameRecord{
        char name[31];
        int year;
        int frequency;
        }records[200000];
Code:
fp=fopen("malebabynames.csv","r");
 if (fp == NULL){
        printf("Cannot open the malebabynames.csv file\n");
 }else{


        while (fgets(line_buffer, sizeof(line_buffer), fp)){
//                printf("%s\n",line_buffer);
                str = strtok(line_buffer,",");
                records[currSize].year = atoi(str);
                str = strtok(NULL,",");
                strcpy(records[currSize].name,str);
                //records[currSize].name = str;
                str = strtok(NULL,"\n");
                records[currSize].frequency= atoi(str);
//                printf ("Years: %d\n", records[currSize].year);
                currSize++;
        }
        fclose(fp);

Code:
void setNameYearTotals (char theName[], struct NameRecord records[], int size, int nameTotal[]){
int a;
int b,c;
int x;
int year = 1920;
int total;
char name[31];
//char str[31];
//printf("%s\n",records[size].name);


for (a=0 ; a < 18 ; ++a){
  for (b=0; b < 5 ; ++b) {
        total = 0;
        year++;;
        for ( x = 0; records[x].year != -1; x++){
        //printf("%s\n",records[x].name);
         if ( year == records[x].year){
                //printf("Name: %s, Data name: %s\n",theName, records[x].name);



                if ( theName == records[x].name){ //THIS IF STATEMENT IS NOT RUNNING
                total = total + records[x].frequency;
                printf("Total: %d\n",total);
                }
         }
        }
//printf("Test: %s\n",name);
 }
nameTotal[a] = total;
//printf("%d\n",yearRangeTotal[a]);
//printf("year: %d\n",year);
}
return;
}

I tried to compare a string from user input with a structure but for some reason it not working.

Code:
                if ( theName == records[x].name){
                total = total + records[x].frequency;
                printf("Total: %d\n",total);
                }
For example,
theName = "ERIC" and records[0].name contain "ERIC". However, the if statement say they are not the same.

I store records structure using strcpy and the user input is char array.

I also tried:
Code:
char name[31]
name = records[x].name;
It gives me error:
assignment3.c:155:8: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘char[31]’ from type ‘char *’
Thank you.
