Thread: problem comparing strings with strcmp

Try printing out each value to stdout just before you compare them.

I think that the struct r_words[i].word might be referencing the wrong string in the array of structures. make sure that i is referencing the string you really think it is referencing.
again, by printing them out just before you compare them will give you some visibility into your problem.


Mike

here's a little clever way to test this without initializing a variable.
you had

Code:

int f; 
f = strcmp(r_words[i].word, s); 
if(!f)

try this....

Code:

if(!strcmp(r_words[i].word, s) )

it's fewer lines of code, thus it's easier to read.
try to get in that habit now.
