problem in printing out the character in console

Question

In my code I did this

int y=strcmp(s,s1);//before this I converted all the uppercase of the string input as lower case.

if(y==0)
{

    cout<<"0"<<endl;
}
else if(y >= 1)
{
    cout<<"1"<<endl;
}
else if(y<1)
{
    cout<<"-1"<<endl;//problem was here
}

so i took aaaa and aaaA as input and expected 0 as output. But it gave me -1 as output. But in my code when I wrote this:

int y=strcmp(s,s1);

if(y==0)
{

    cout<<0<<endl;
}
else if(y >= 1)
{
    cout<<1<<endl;
}
else if(y<1)
{
    cout<<-1<<endl;
}

It gave me the right answer. My question why this happened?

Answer 1

you removed " " in the cout. Can you show the error code you're getting in the first round?
