    Question string variable checks

    something as basic as having the user enter yes or no in full string instead of single char.is there a short cut i can use instead of comparing 2 arrays against each other?

    such as if (answer == 'yes')

    or if(answer[1]=='y'&&answer[2] ect?

    ???????

    No, you have to use strcmp(). I'm not sure, but it might be possible to overload == so you can compare strings. Don't ask me how, though .
