Thread: beginner question

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	char state[3];
	cout << "Enter NC, SC, GA, FL, or AL. ";
	cin >> state;
	if (state == "nc" || state == "NC")
		cout << "North Carolina.";
	else cout << "That is an invalid choice.\n";
}

When I input nc or NC, it does not output north carolina, but displays the invalid message. What did I do wrong? thanks

Code:

if ((strcmp(state, "nc") == 0) || (strcmp(state, "NC") == 0))
{



}

strcmp() takes the two strings and compares them. The output is zero when they are equal.
