Re: strcmp, please help me understand this


"Marcus" <mc*******@walla.comwrote in message
news:f1**********************************@t12g2000 prg.googlegroups.com...
char *foo = "ABC";
char *foo2 = "ABC";

if(strcmp(foo,foo2) == 0)
printf("Works");

i missed a quote in foo2 and meant printf. sorry it became completely
meaningless with those errors.

the basic point is that char*'s aren't strcmp'ing and i'm not sure
why. my code compiles.
No, the code you posted does not compile. If you
really want help, please listen to what Alf (and I)
are telling you. Post a *complete*, *compilable*
program (ALL of it, including header #includes),
or we simply cannot help you.
