[ryusgnal]

Hi I'm still new in C++ programming. can anybody tell me what is the problem with my code below and how to solve it? thank you very much.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
char hello[6],ref;
main()
{
hello[6] = 'h','e','l','l','0','!';
ref='l';
if(strcmp(hello[2],ref)==0)
{cout<<"yes";}
else
{cout<<"no";}
return 0;
}

Re: Need help for C++

// hello.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
char ref;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
const char* hello[6] = {"h","e","l","l","0","!"};
ref='l';
if(strcmp(hello[2],&ref)==0)
{cout<<"yes";}
else
{cout<<"no";}
return 0;
}

you failed to cast the lookup table as an array of strings properly
a * is used to denote a location in memory
the & is simply data at address
so must be added to ref so strcmp can get the data at the char address and compare it to the data at the ref
so youll see if you compile the answer is yes
changing the value of ref changes the answer with respect

attached is the exe
