C++ string equals method?
|
|
ya, I'm a java programmer that is starting to learn C++. what is the equals method for strings for C++? ex. in java the .equals method is built in for character comparison (not memory comparison) is there one for C++ or do you have to write your own or paste it from somewhere? |

you can use strcmp() to check if 2 strings are the same or not

In C: #include string.h char str1[] = "foo"; if(strcmp(str1,"foo") == 0) { //str1 equals "foo" } if(strcmp(str1,"bar")) { //str1 does not equal "bar" } In C++: #include string std::string str1 = "foo"; if(str1 == "foo") { //str1 equals "foo" } if(str1 != "bar") { //str1 does not equal "bar" } thats it nice and easy edit: remember to put the greater than and less than symbols after #include |
