    Comparing Strings

    Ok, i should know this but i can't remember the function

    Code:
    char name[20] = "Bob";
    
    if (name == "Bob"){ // Invalid, need real funtion
      printf("true");
    }
    How do i compare 2 strings to test whether they are equal?
    Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

    I can C.

    Compiler: gcc

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
