Strings

[Tim K]

ok I want to compare a string based on the input

so lets say I have

string bookType = "";

cout << "Enter type of bookenter either paperback or hardback):";
getline(cin,bookType);

//what is the best way to do the following:

if bookType = "paperback"
cout << "you chose paperback"
else
cout << "you chose hardback"


Thanks,

Tim

You can always use to compare two strings. Make sure to include string.h





ïnt result = strcmp(Str1, Str2);
