I have a string array for example

string name[5]={"A","B","B"}

I am accepting an string input from a user and want to check it against that of the array.

cout<<Enter letter;
cin>>letter;

if(toupper(letter)==name[0])
{
............
...........
}

but i am getting an error

Cannot convert from string to int

Try ... if(toupper(letter).compare(name[0])==0)

if (toupper(input) == *(name[0].c_str()))
