String comparison is case sensitive by default. Just use operator== for std::string .
In order to compare two strings, we can use String's strcmp() function. The strcmp() function is a C library function used to compare two strings in a lexicographical manner. The function returns 0 if both the strings are equal or the same.
strcmp() in C/C++ This function is used to compare the string arguments. It compares strings lexicographically which means it compares both the strings character by character. It starts comparing the very first character of strings until the characters of both strings are equal or NULL character is found.
You can't compare strings in C with ==, because the C compiler does not really have a clue about strings beyond a string-literal.
I know for C++ that basic comparative operators can accomplish the task if both words are either entirely lower or entirely upper case. I have an array of strings and letters can vary from lower to upper. Here is a small examle of the kind of strings I can be working with:
"ABUNDANT LIFE CH"
"NEW LIFE WMN MNSTRY"
"NEW LIFE ASSEMBLY"
I know in Java there exists the function String.compareToIgnoreCase(). Is there a C++ equivalent of this function?
