i wrote this code originally with "command1" as a string and it worked fine but when i changed it to a char the "if (command1 == "open")" and other checks stopped testing true...
any idea or hint would be appreciated...
program just checks input against a list of "if" statements and outputs correct "response".
-----------------------------------------------
1. #include <cstdlib>
2. #include <iostream>
3.
4. using namespace std;
5.
6. int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
7. char command1[256];
8.
9. do{
10. cout << "Enter command... (enter, pass, return, what or done)\n";
11. cin.getline (command1, sizeof(command1));
12.
13. if (command1 == "enter"){
14. cout << "Entered.\n\n";}
15. else if (command1 == "return"){
16. cout << "Returned.\n\n";}
17. else if (command1 == "pass"){
18. cout << "Passed.\n\n";}
19. else if (command1 == "what"){
20. cout << "what yourself.\n\n";}
21. else if (command1 != "done"){
22. cout << "I dont understand.\n\n";}
23. }while (command1 != "done");
24.
25.
26. system("PAUSE");
27. return EXIT_SUCCESS;
28. }------------------------------------------------
thank you
