How to compare strings in an "if" statement?

if(strcmp(aString, bString) == 0){
    //strings are the same
}

godspeed

if(!strcmp(favoriteDairyProduct, "cheese"))
{
    printf("You like cheese too!");
}
else
{
    printf("I like cheese more.");
}

You're looking for the function strcmp, or strncmp from string.h.

Since strings are just arrays, you need to compare each character, so this function will do that for you:

if (strcmp(favoriteDairyProduct, "cheese") == 0)
{
    printf("You like cheese too!");
}
else
{
    printf("I like cheese more.");
}
