    compare contents of strings

    I have an int arrays[5] I need to compare two of them to see if they are full or not such as comparing array[0] and array[5]. I tried strcmp but I get compiler errors telling me something like char * not compatible with int.

    any suggestions on how to go about it?

    If you have an array of five integers then you're not comparing strings. Can you show us some of your code?

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    >>to see if they are full
    What do you mean here?

    To compare two ints, simply use the == comparison operator.
    >if (myarray[0] == myarray[5])
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
