How to compare a char?

Question

I am learning c. I have a question. Why doesn\'t my program work?

#include
#include
#include

char cmd;

void          


        

Answer 1

First of, in C single quotes are char literals, and double quotes are string literals. Thus, 'C' and "C" are not the same thing.

To do string comparisons, use strcmp.

const char* str = "abc";
if (strcmp ("abc", str) == 0) {
   printf("strings match\n");
}

To do char comparisons, use the equality operator.

char c = 'a';
if ('a' == c) {
   printf("characters match\n");
}

Answer 2

cmd is a char type but "e" is a string not a char type,you should write like this if(cmd == 'e')
