Nonportable pointer conversion

Another Noob Question :confused: - My code is not working as i expect it to.
In the following code (userAns[0] - userAns[5] all = 1) and (userAns[6] - userAns[9] all = 0)
When run i would expect the 0-5 values to return a correct message and the 6-9 values to return wrong, but all values return the question is wrong text?
The program does run but not correctly and i just noticed that the line " if (userAns[i] == 1) " gets a Nonportable pointer conversion error.
Being a total noob looking at the code i wrote i dont understand why when userAns[i] has a value of 1 that it does not display question correct.

What am i doing wrong?

Code:

---

//FUNCTION TO DISPLAY WRONG OR CORRECT
int score (void)
{
int i, correct;
correct = 0;
clrscr();
for (i=0; i<=q; i++)
    {
    printf ("\n%s", userAns[i]);
    if (userAns[i] == 1)
        {
          correct++;
          printf("\n%s\nYou got this question correct", mystr[i]);
        }
        else {
                  printf("\n%s\nYou got this question wrong", mystr[i]);
                }
        }
return;
}

---

Please post the full code. This is not enough to figure out what's wrong.

EDIT: Although, I suspect that userAns is declared as char **, meaning an array of string pointers. If that's the case, then the comparison (userAns[i] == 1) is comparing a pointer value on the left with an integer on the right. You probably are trying to check if the string is "1". You should:

Code:

---

if(strcmp(userAns[i], "1") == 0)

---

Instead.

Sweet thank you that works

I had been searching the net for about an hour before asking. And i did find reference to strcmp but thought it was specificaly for comparing strings to strings like

Code:

---

if (strcmp(userAns[i], newAns[i]) == 1)

---

I did try using it in my code but i put

Code:

---

if(strcmp(userAns[i]) == 1)

---

and it crashed everytime i tried running the program.

Glad it worked. Be aware that strcmp() returns 0 if the strings match, not 1.
