Arrays

[Latina]

Hi, I have a string array, which there are the months.
If the user enters a number which is stored in an int variable
'month'.
How I can compare the value stored in the variable 'month' to the
string, to see if it is the same month.
I was thinking on comparing the index of the array with the value
stored in the variable 'month'.
But I don't know how to do it.
Can some one help me with that?
Thanks

Presumably the array contains the month names in order.

Then there's no need to compare anything, and it's meaningless to "see
if it is the same month".

The user's entered month number is directly (or +/- 1) the array index
of the corresponding month name.
