string c++ == comparing

Question

    char words[5] = { 't', 'd' , 'o', 'g', 'i', };
    cout << "enter letter ";


    char dogsearch[3] = { 'd', 'o', 'g' };

    if (words == dogsearch)
        cout << "found words";
    else
        cout << "Not found word";

i have two arrays and comparing them with each other to find the similiarity, and differences within each another, if there is similiar i want to output how it is, and vice versa

Answer 1

You can use string::find to look for substring matches

char words[5] = { 't', 'd' , 'o', 'g', 'i', };
char dogsearch[3] = { 'd', 'o', 'g' };

string words_str(words, sizeof(words));
string needle(dogsearch, sizeof(dogsearch));

size_t pos = words_str.find(needle);
if (pos != std::string::npos)
   cout << "found words at position " << pos << '\n';
else
   cout << "Not found word;
