Having an issue with checking if a string is a certain word or another. The program just crashes when it gets to the check. Code: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { char dayName[10]; int numDays; // number of days int startDay; int endDay; printf("Enter a day of the week:\n"); scanf("%s", dayName); printf("Enter the number of days from that day:\n"); scanf("%i", numDays); if (dayName == "Sunday") // Errors here. Prolly doin it wrong { startDay = 1; } else if (dayName == "Monday") { startDay = 2; } else if (dayName == "Tuesday") { startDay = 3; } else if (dayName == "Wednesday") { startDay = 4; } else if (dayName == "Thursday") { startDay = 5; } else if (dayName == "Friday") { startDay = 6; } else if (dayName == "Saturday") { startDay = 7; }else{ printf("Error"); } endDay = (startDay + numDays) % 7; switch(endDay) { case 1: printf("It would be Sunday"); break; case 2: printf("It would be Monday"); break; case 3: printf("It would be Tuesday"); break; case 4: printf("It would be Wednesday"); break; case 5: printf("It would be Thursday"); break; case 6: printf("It would be Friday"); break; case 7: printf("It would be Saturday"); break; default: printf("Error"); } getchar(); getchar(); }
dayName is an array of char. There is no == operator for arrays. You'll need to use strcmp: Code: if (strcmp(dayName, "Sunday")==0)
