If statement for strings

[saza]

heyya! i have this problem with my program. i want to make an if argument;

if username is not equal to "admin"
do this
else
do that
......

i already declare the variable username as character: see my code below

......
.......
char username[45];

scanf("%s", username);

if (username != "admin")
{
go to 1
}
else
{
go to 2
}

the input; admin

the output; always be 'go to 1' even when i entered "admin"

can someone help me how can i make the arguments work?

thanks!

You should use strcmp instead of !=. strcmp takes two char* arguments and returns 0 if they are equal, 1 if the first is greater than the second, and -1 if the first is less than the second. So you can use

strcmp(username, "admin")

to see if they are equal.
