Case-insensitive string comparison in C++ [closed]

Answer 1

If you don't want to use Boost library then here is solution to it using only C++ standard io header.

#include 

struct iequal
{
    bool operator()(int c1, int c2) const
    {
        // case insensitive comparison of two characters.
        return std::toupper(c1) == std::toupper(c2);
    }
};

bool iequals(const std::string& str1, const std::string& str2)
{
    // use std::equal() to compare range of characters using the functor above.
    return std::equal(str1.begin(), str1.end(), str2.begin(), iequal());
}

int main(void)
{
    std::string str_1 = "HELLO";
    std::string str_2 = "hello";

    if(iequals(str_1,str_2))
    {
        std::cout<<"String are equal"<
